Prof. Przebinda: Russia burns billions daily, recruits last 3 weeks on the front

Slavicist Prof. Grzegorz Przebinda argues that Russia has been waging a war it was never prepared for — militarily or economically — for four and a half years. Recruits come overwhelmingly from the country's poorest, most remote regions, and the average soldier lasts only three weeks at the front. The Kremlin's daily war spending rivals the entire annual budgets of some federal republics.
