Russian workers are going on strike en masse due to delayed wages and worsening working conditions at their factories.
This was reported by the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine (SVRU).
Mass protests at key enterprises in the Russian Federation
Russian enterprises have increasingly begun to delay salaries, send workers on unscheduled leave, cut staff, or switch to a 4-day work week.

As a result, outraged workers go on strike.
According to SZRU, strikes recently took place at the Kamchatka enterprise ZapsibGazprom-Gazifikatsiya, in the Kemerovo region at the Spiridonovskaya mine, and also at the Chelyabinsk Electrometallurgical Plant.
The crisis at enterprises is most pronounced in the coal mining, construction, metallurgy and agricultural engineering industries.
Workers in these sectors are most likely to face non-payment and layoffs.
As noted by the SZRU, given the scale of the problem, the Russian Federation is trying to hide the level of dissatisfaction among workers by disconnecting the Internet, blocking social networks and strict censorship in the media.
Russia fears that the emergence of problems in the media could lead to a cascading effect of strikes across the country.
The authorities are trying to prevent the spread of information about labor protests so as not to provoke new worker demonstrations.
The SZRU adds that mass strikes indicate serious economic problems in Russia and growing public dissatisfaction with the socio-economic situation in the country.
