War consequences for Russia: increase in costs and broken soldiers!

In a worrying step, the Transbaicals region has announced in Siberia not to pay financial compensation for soldiers who were injured in the Ukraine War. According to reports from the Sibirski Express Telegram Canal, regional support, which previously varied between 100,000 and 500,000 rubles (around 925 to 4,630 euros), is now being redirected.

Many traumatized soldiers may not receive adequate treatment because social prejudices regard mental illnesses as weakness. In view of these developments, the inability of the Kremlin to meet the needs of veterans could lead to considerable political problems in the long term.
