How Russia’s losses affect its economy

Ukraine and Russia have struggled to renew their forces as the war wandered in its third year. KYIV expands its qualified Draftees standards, while Moscow is pouring money in contracts to lure new soldiers to register.

The Kremlin managed to raise employment rates in the second half of 2024, but it spends nearly a third of its entire federal budget for defense.

The fixed supply of the able bodies in the battlefield was a key to the main strategy of Russia for the past year or so, which includes the deployment of collective infantry attacks to exhaust Ukraine. It is a costly tactic to bring in limited results on the eastern front, although it helped gradually remove Ukraine from Kursk in the north.

“RF deals with a degree of Matériel’s exhaust after high loss rates in the fall,” wrote Michael Kovman, a prominent defense analyst at the Carnegie Fund to stand on Thursday.

“But the current wireless frequency contract rates still provide alternatives and empowerment of rotation,” Kaufman added, referring to the Russian armed forces.

Some Russian industries also face a significant shortage of employment of about 5 million workers, partially brought by mass military employment and mental bleeding from the wealthy Russians who left at the beginning of the war.

Business leaders highlighted that deficiency at a meeting on Tuesday with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Some asked for more federal investment and put forward the idea of ​​restricting part -time work for full -time jobs, According to his speech Written by Alexander Shokin, President of the Russian Federation for Industrialists and Businessmen.

Their meeting was held against the background of Moscow negotiations with the Trump administration, which has sparked hopes that the Russian economy will receive a form of sanctions and ease of recovery.

But Putin sought to reduce these expectations at the meeting, and told business owners not to think about the sanctions as temporary but as a systematic strategic pressure “on their country.

“Let me repeat: sanctions and restrictions are the truth of the new development phase today, which the entire world has entered, the entire global economy,” Putin said.
