The economic consequences of the war in the summer of 2025 will be painful for the Russian Federation.
This opinion was expressed by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov during a conversation with Sergei Zhadan on Kharkov's Radio Charter during a conversation.
— When will the Russian economy really start to feel the pain of all these world events? According to our calculations, let's say, the feeling will come in the summer of 2025, — he said.

— This will not bring Russia to its knees, unfortunately, during that period, but they (the Russians, — Ed.) will already begin to think much more — what next steps they should take, — he added.
In particular, Budanov does not believe that this war could end for the Russian Federation in a “hungry bread riot”, since, as he believes, there is currently no such leader in Russia as Vladimir Lenin in 1917, who could oppose the current Russian “tsar”. Yevgeny Prigozhin could have claimed his role, but he was destroyed.
