Russia’s mass military recruitment efforts are becoming increasingly costly as the war in Ukraine drags on for a fourth year, with the state shelling out some 2 billion rubles ($22 million) per day on sign-on bonuses for new recruits alone.

The figures, based on official data from the Finance Ministry and regional budgets, were compiled by Janis Kluge, a senior associate at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) in Berlin.

According to Kluge’s analysis, approximately three-quarters of the sign-on bonuses to military recruits — around 1.5 billion rubles ($18.3 million) per day — are shouldered by regional governments, many of which are now allocating nearly 3% of their annual budgets to the recruitment campaign. The remaining 500 million rubles ($6.1 million) come from the federal budget.

Frontline report: Trump “accidentally” hits Putin’s oil budget with a $ 20 billion bomb
Russia’s oil revenues plunged after Trump’s trade moves triggered a global price drop, cutting deep into the Kremlin’s primary source of income.

Today, interesting news comes from the Russian Federation. Global oil price changes have created a dangerous situation for Russia. Its budget is at unprecedented risk of collapse, sabotaging not only Putin’s war plans but, in the long term, his whole government.

The recent plunge in global oil prices—triggered by President Donald Trump’s new tariffs and escalating trade tensions—significantly strains Russia’s economy. Although Trump didn’t place any tariffs on Russia directly, fears of a global recession (which means a major slowdown in economic activity) are already causing oil demand to drop.
