I mean think about it Russia's been at war for ages now and their economy is literally struggling to keep up anyone who thought a war would be good for business was sadly wrong The average Russian is getting hit hard with inflation and stagnant wages, like they're living paycheck to paycheck And the optimism levels are tanking I mean 39% of people think things are only getting worse what's happening over there?
It's kinda crazy how Putin's Russia can still keep it together for now, but I'm low-key worried about how long they can sustain this whole war effort. The economic struggles in Russia are getting more real, and it's only a matter of time before people start questioning the whole invasion thing . Like, 39% of Russians think things are getting worse? That's not good for Putin's reputation, you know?
And I'm not sure if Ukraine can really take advantage of this, but maybe they should try to focus on showing that there's a better future for Russia and its people? Because let's be real, the longer Russia keeps fighting, the more suffering it's gonna cause .
I think it's kinda ironic that Russia's military spending has doubled, but economic optimism among Russians has actually gone down Like, if they're not getting paid as well, how are they supposed to be all like "oh yeah, war is awesome" right now? It also makes me wonder what the real numbers on inflation and wages look like - I bet it's way worse than what we see in the news. And honestly, I don't blame Ukraine one bit for focusing on Russia's weak economy They should be like "hey, you're not getting richer, but we are"
