A healthy economic cycle is like the spinal cord, supporting the continuous operation of a country. In history, the economic collapse of many countries has led to the disintegration of political order, such as the Weimar Republic after World War I or Zimbabwe during the Mugabe era. Although the impact of wartime economic operations on politics takes time to emerge, the Russia-Ukraine war has lasted for more than two and a half years, Putin is still in power, and Ukraine has not yet fallen, turning into a protracted war of attrition.

If the West still hopes to force Russia to withdraw its troops through economic pressure, seeing the new fiscal budget would probably make them more pessimistic.
