New sociological survey data show a deterioration in the financial situation of Russians over the past few months. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (CCD), informs UNN.
Details
It is noted that the share of Russians who report an increase in their wealth has dropped to 8%, while almost every fourth (23%) speaks of a deterioration in their financial situation. At the same time, optimism is falling: only 24% hope for an improvement in the financial situation in the coming year.
At the same time, propagandist media, spreading this news, emphasize that 57% of Russians "consider their financial situation to be average." This is how they try to impose the illusion of "economic stability," although this narrative is far from reality.
They emphasize that due to the full-scale war against Ukraine, on which the Kremlin spends huge resources, in recent years Russia has entered a systemic economic degradation.
"The incomes of the population are falling, and taxes and prices are rising. Putin does not show any desire to end the war. Economic pressure on the population will only intensify, and over time even more Russians will feel the war in their own pockets," the CCD summarizes.
Recall
Recently, the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine reported that the Russian authorities are preparing the population for a sharp deterioration in living standards due to a record budget deficit, which in 2025 will reach 5.74 trillion rubles.
