Russian leader Vladimir Putin's focus on reviving the Russian economy has garnered attention from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which stated that it is not solely for funding the country's conflict with Ukraine. The ISW's report on March 20 highlighted various Russian financial, economic, and military indicators that suggest Russia is gearing up for a potential large-scale conventional conflict with NATO in the near future.
Putin's recent meeting with the Russian Duma following his reelection emphasized his commitment to prioritizing the well-being of the Russian people and supporting families. He underscored the importance of economic development as the foundation for addressing issues related to technological sovereignty and social progress.
