By
Simon Cleven, Jakob Hartung
Summary
Despite Western predictions of an imminent collapse, Russia's economy has proven more resilient than expected during its war against Ukraine. The Kremlin continues to pour massive sums into the military and sustain its defense industry. However, economist Janis Kluge notes that the costs of war are rising, and with them the risk of uncomfortable domestic policy measures. While a collapse is not imminent, growing economic problems could force difficult decisions internally.
