Civilian businesses pay the price of Putin’s war economy | Eastern Express
Russia can keep producing weapons while civilian businesses struggle with expensive credit, labor shortages, and weaker demand. Eastern Express examines how state contracts and financial support create different conditions for military suppliers and the wider economy. We look at the latest regional evidence from the Bank of Russia, investment forecasts, and the pressures on businesses outside the defense sector. The divide is uneven, with some civilian industries still growing and economic weakness failing to halt the war effort. How much future growth is Moscow sacrificing to sustain military production today?
