Food prices surge as Russia cuts army payments | Break the Fake https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/ba2e7b6a-cc37-4216-a765-e5e0615ca822 Russia’s economic problems are mounting, and the consequences are becoming increasingly hard to ignore. While the Kremlin insists that sanctions are failing and the economy remains resilient, food prices continue to climb. Chicken prices have surged, beef is becoming increasingly expensive, and ordinary Russians are feeling the pressure on their household budgets. At the same time, Moscow is cutting military recruitment bonuses. In St. Petersburg, the promised payment for signing a military contract has reportedly plunged from around $43,000 to just $5,000 in a matter of months. With military spending exceeding $177 billion, rising costs, shrinking civilian budgets, and reduced recruitment incentives are exposing the growing financial strain on Russia.
