The Kremlin's War Machine Has Begun To Stall Due To Falling Revenues

Moscow cuts payments to recruits from the regions.

Against the backdrop of the growing federal budget deficit and deepening financial problems in the regions, Russia is forced to save money on payments to new recruits.

The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine reported that in several subjects of the Russian Federation local lump-sum payments to those who sign a contract with the occupation army have been sharply reduced. In particular, in Bashkiria the amount of such payments fell from 1.6 million to 1 million rubles, in Yamalo-Nenets district - from 3.1 million to 1.9 million, in Belgorod region - from 3 million to 800 thousand, In Nizhny Novgorod region - from Br3 million to Br1.5 million.

But there is an increase in payments in a number of regions: in Tatarstan they raised the bonus to Br3.1 million, in Ryazan region they promise to pay Br1 million more, in Kabardino-Balkaria they raised the amount from Br1.5 million to Br1.8 million.

"Thus, Russia is formalizing a 'caste system' in which the lives of citizens of different regions are evaluated differently," the intelligence agency noted.

The financial hole of the "underdebt" is growing at a record pace. In January-July 2025 alone, Russia's budget deficit reached $61 billion, almost four times the original plan of $14.6 billion.

"The main reasons are falling oil and gas revenues, the failure of tax plans and the rapid growth of military spending," the GUR emphasized.
