Estimation of Russia's costs as a result of the war.

Giant spending on Chechnya after two devastating wars will seem like flowers compared to how much will have to be invested in the occupied Ukrainian regions.By the beginning of summer, experts estimated the required amount at 600-750 billion dollars. The restoration of Mariupol alone will cost more than $14 billion. In addition, these territories will need funding for permanent needs. The authorities of the "DPR" alone said they were counting on assistance of 2 trillion rubles in the next two years.In fact, about 5 trillion rubles out of the total amount of the National Welfare Fund remain under the control of the Ministry of Finance - even if they are completely spent on Ukraine, there will still not be enough money, writes the We Can Explain.The consequences for the Russians themselves will soon be noticeable: it was at the expense of the NWF that the deficit of the Pension Fund was compensated and pension savings were to be replenished. All major infrastructure projects will also be frozen. And part of the spending on helping the Ukrainians will fall and is already falling on the shoulders of the “patronizing” Russians.
