Yeah no, Putin is paying in worthless rubles, he can have his printing presses running 24 x 7. It will cause inflation and further erosion of the ruble’s value against other currencies but paying his soldiers won’t be an issue. No problem handing worthless paper to them.
Not sure he pays them now – I think they get coupons for discounts on bags of onions
russia is on a downwturn if not deep in doodoo. russian banks have been forced to ‘lend’ to defence contractors since 2022. Money they are never getting back as it is all going up in smoke instead of being sold abroad. In fact money is also being borrowed to buy foreign tech rather than supporting native industries. Consider this with loss of income from refined fuels and cuts to many industrial sectors and you have a recipe for a crisis.
How many Russian soldiers make it to payday?
Attacks on refineries have near to nothing to do with oil revenues.
They pay their soldiers? Or you mean they will soon be unable to buy off the families with potatoes and onions when the soldiers go “MIA”?
Were back in the early 90s for Russia. State run by kleptocrats starts failing. They offer huge amounts of money to soldiers that they can’t pay, putting even more stress into an empty labor market, eventually leading to an inflation rate even the central bank can’t stop. The 2030s will be tough times for Russia if there’s no major change. Defeated, military down, ethnic minorities rising up for independence and a society that is missing generations of men and that needs to deal with a huge amount if heavily traumatized ex soldiers. Can’t be too long until Putin’s bunker ending
They started importing oil from Belarus.
Don’t have to pay soldiers that get killed by using them as meat waves.

The moment those sweet signing bonuses stop coming in, the moment they stop recruiting. For that reason I think that will be the last thing to go, after healthcare, pensions and everything else.
“Paying his soldiers” when did Putin ever do that? Soldiers pay for their own supplies and the soldier’s family receives a sack of potatoes at best.
He’s the worst dictator in history I think
Hahaha paying his soldiers?
Don’t worry, government will print enough money to pay soldiers any time. What they can buy with this coloured paper is another story.
The Russian psyche is so conditioned to being exploited by those in power and just accepting it, that if they don’t get paid they won’t do anything about it.
And sooner or later it will be tit for tat when russia starts hitting electrical grids that Ukraine needs to do the same. When it starts to affect the untouched of moscow and st petersburg, then all the walls will start crumbling down for pootin.
They just print money. The blow is to get stuffs from abroad
Keep up the good work Ukraine. Slava Ukraine.
He pays them with the sims 3 cards!
Music to my ears
You mean paying the commanders who steal the soldiers wages
VODKA DISTILLERIES AND WAREHOUSES NEXT!!!!!!!
Funny thing is it gets even worse when the war stops. Rockbottom has a basement.
Love it. I fully expect some oligarchs to be arrested and their companies and funds taken over. Perhaps Putin can come out of pocket with the billions he’s squirreled away. Maybe he can force Assad to give him more gold bars. Things are going to get real messy as Putin struggles to stay afloat. His survival depends on the outcome of the illegal invasion. He said he’ll fight to the last Russian so it’s not for russia, it’s for him. Desperate times, desperate measures.
Russian soldiers fight for the glory of the Tsar, not petty things such as money or living conditions
When the refineries are down, there should be more oil and not less, since it can’t be refined.
