In Russia’s Primorye, the budget has fallen so far that authorities are already warning of delays in social payments, and spending on healthcare and hospitals has to be cut. Not long before this, the region reduced budget expenditures by 3,8 billion rubles. It seems the war against Ukraine is costing Russia more and more, and even those simply waiting for their money from the state have to pay for it.
This is being widely reported by Russian media citing a statement from the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy of Primorsky Krai. The agency noted that the region’s budget is operating under increased strain due to the need to finance nationwide tasks related to the so-called "special military operation" (SMO).
