The Russians do not suffer: Putin "dispelled the myth" about the end of the war through sanctions and losses - the media

The publication published a column of Mark Galeoti's political observer from New York University. In his opinion, the Russian economy did not collapse due to the war in Ukraine. The Russians lose their relatives, but receive large payments because of their death. Consumer goods have increased, but on the other hand, the flows of money are infused with the military-industrial complex. The political scientist wrote that Putin improved the financial situation of the Russians through the war.

"Does the war in Ukraine destroy the economy of Russia? Quite the opposite. Army salary," money for coffins "for families that have lost loved ones, and new opportunities for the domestic industry reduced inequality more efficiently than Putin did so in peacetime," - reads in Galeotti column. The political scientist listed the troubles that the Russians should suffer from and who should turn them away from the Russian Federation.

Among the troubles - the price of potatoes increased by 166%, closing dozens of airports due to the blows of drones of the Armed Forces, dies daily or get injured by 1 200 soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Galeotty noted that Putin is always sensitive to public opinion, but now he has nothing to worry: the Russians seemed to "win in the lottery" and do not require the cessation of hostilities.

According to the author of The Times, the war did not become unbearable for the Russians. "Ukraine and its western partners have not managed to make the war price unbearable for the invaders. For many Russians, in fact, all the opposite," the article reads. Galeotti also described how Putin acted, so as not to cause perturbation from the Russian population and improve their financial situation.

During the Chechen wars, people were outraged by the deaths of the ages, but now they call contracts, which are paid millions of rubles (on average - 1. 8 million rubles). If the Russian dies, then the family receives 15 million rubles. As a result, during the war, the number of deposits increased by 151 and 81%. Meanwhile, military plants stimulate the development of the economy and the increase in salaries exceeds inflation.

However, the political scientist also explained that Putin still has problems with a set of new soldiers, and therefore the summer offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is not as rapid as he would like. In addition, power agencies monitor public opinion and have "discontent maps" that show dissatisfaction with the Russians. According to Galeotti, the cream has the opportunity to fight while it has money to "buy" the population.

If the money is over, only then Putin will have to decide. Chip continue the war, summed up the observer. "Putin is forced to buy constant peace of his country. If he cannot afford to maintain this balance, one day he may have to choose between war and the throne," Galeotti wrote. It should be noted that on May 15, a meeting of delegations of Ukraine and the Russian Federation on the possibility of completion of the war took place in Istanbul.

During the meeting, the head of Russian delegations, Vladimir Medinsky stated. that the Russian Federation is ready to fight both three and five and more years. At the same time he mentioned the 20-year war of the Russian Empire with Sweden. One of the members of the Ukrainian delegations, the first deputy head of the MS Sergey Kislytsa spoke about the details of the burning of the end of the war.
