Ongoing intensified Western sanctions against Russia and Russia’s ongoing labor issues brought on by Russia’s war in Ukraine have significantly contributed to Russia’s economic instability. ⬇️
Russia’s strategy of incentivizing volunteer recruitment by offering large one-time payments to recruits alongside efforts to rapidly expand its defense industrial base (DIB) since 2022 has required Russia to significantly increase government spending to both sustain military recruitment and to augment the DIB’s labor force.
Russia has leveraged large federal and regional one-time bonuses (some of which are over ten times Russia’s annual average salary) to incentivize Russians to sign military contracts rather than take other civilian jobs, and competition between Russia’s DIB and civilian enterprises is causing wage inflation for civilian positions and inflating prices in service industries writ large.
The Kremlin, however, recently began setting conditions to involuntarily mobilize reservists to fight in the war in Ukraine, which, if activated, would allow the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) to reduce payments to soldiers and could potentially lower inflation by reducing one source of large government spending, which also exacerbates structural wage inflation.
ISW has not yet observed confirmation that Russia has begun compulsory mobilization of reservists at this time; however, the Kremlin is setting conditions for the possibility of such. x.com/TheStudyofWar/status/1981897595363492304

@SwedishPM Why not send Gripens to actual countries defending themselves against Israel, instead of sending it to fascist terror states such as Ukraine who have been killing their own people for 11 years using NATO weapons and backing?

@Anthony23Bryant @BGatesIsaPyscho The lack of understanding of what going on is appalling. Russia is posturing as it’s done at every stage of increasing the capability of military aid for Ukraine. You mention giving but aid is now via loans using interest off suspended Russian assets. That buys the weapons…….
