Russia raises “tariffs” for participation in the war
The Samara region of the Russian Federation has announced a record payment of 4 million rubles for signing a contract to participate in the war against Ukraine.
▫️ This decision reflects a significant decline in the number of people willing to die for Putin’s imperialist ambitions, even for a six-figure sum.
Against this backdrop, Russia is cutting payments to “veterans” who are no longer “useful” to the regime and reducing other budget expenditures. Additionally, despite the Kremlin’s triumphant rhetoric, sanctions continue to exert significant pressure on the Russian economy.
▫️ Therefore, despite the Kremlin’s manipulative claims of being open to negotiations, their actions reveal a clear lack of desire to end the war.
