Russians' real wages stop growing for first time in three years amid war costs

In the fifth year of Russia's war against Ukraine, Russians' real wages and disposable incomes — adjusted for inflation and mandatory payments — have stopped growing for the first time in three years. For three consecutive years prior, wages had been rising, which the Kremlin cited as proof of economic resilience. The trend has now reversed, while authorities show little concern about citizens' worsening financial situation.
