Russia fears a new escalation of the war
Following a series of Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian territory, concern is growing among Russian officials and big business over a possible further escalation of the war. The Kremlin and business circles fear that Vladimir Putin may resort to further escalation in response to the attacks on Russian infrastructure.
According to the publication, the latest strikes by Ukrainian drones on oil refineries and defense industry facilities have heightened nervousness among the Russian elite. The newspaper’s sources note that the government is facing increasing difficulties: the federal budget deficit is growing, the economy is under additional pressure, and existing air defense systems are insufficient to effectively protect critical infrastructure.
Among business leaders, fears are mounting regarding possible new financial measures the Kremlin might take to cover military expenses. As a result, some representatives of big business are already considering moving their capital abroad and leaving the country.
