The Russian economy and military efforts are under increasing strain.
After the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian economy even grew. But today it is already quite clear that 2025 will put an end to this.
This is stated in the report of the Institute for the Study of War.
As analysts write, the Kremlin's recent economic policy indicates that the Russian economy will most likely face significant problems in 2025. In this regard, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is concerned about Russia's long-term economic stability.
In particular, the Kremlin has recently made several decisions aimed at reducing the Russian government's spending on wounded Russian soldiers, fighting inflation, and addressing long-term demographic problems such as low birth rates and labor shortages.
Such policies show that the Russian economy is not as resilient to Western sanctions, monetary restrictions, and the cost of military action as the Russian government says and claims.
“As a result, consistent Western and international support for Ukraine's resistance on the battlefield will further exacerbate Russia's economic problems,” the experts noted.
Earlier it was reported that Vladimir Putin is forced to change the way he wages war against Ukraine due to economic problems and a lack of human resources.
