A new wave of mobilisation in Russia will 'finish off' the aggressor's economy — intelligence
This has been reported by the press office of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service.
Citing expert analysis, the intelligence service forecasts a significant deterioration in economic indicators in the Russian Federation in the event of a likely new wave of mobilisation.
After all, whilst the Russian economy is currently in a recession, i.e. a period of temporary slowdown and stagnation, mobilisation is expected to hit the figures even harder.
In that case, the aggressor’s economy will, quite predictably, move on to the next stage – stagnation – the consequences of which will take a long time to overcome.
One of the negative economic consequences of mobilisation in the Russian Federation will be an even more acute shortage of personnel. After all, as intelligence reports indicate, modern warfare depends not so much on the number of troops, but on those who ensure the level of technical equipment, communications systems and electronic warfare capabilities.
In addition, political analysts also warn that a new wave of mobilisation in the Russian Federation could trigger a mass exodus of Russians abroad. After all, whilst some emigrants returned to their homeland following the 2022 mobilisation, this time highly qualified specialists may leave Russia for good, which will also affect economic indicators.
“It is worth highlighting Russia’s financial difficulties separately. The Russian Federation’s budget deficit has already exceeded planned figures by a factor of several times, and providing for hundreds of thousands of conscripts will require prohibitive expenditure,” the Foreign Intelligence Service added.
As a reminder, it was reported recently that Russia is preparing a new mobilisation of up to 300,000 people if the Kremlin decides to continue the war against Ukraine for another year or two. However, a final decision has not yet been made.
