This last week signals a strong turning point in Russia. Starting with the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, grave news has been coming out in headlines across Russia about its economy and inflation, warning Russians about rising food and energy costs.

The Kremlin doesn’t put out statements like that unless things are truly last-minute and critical, which signals a serious shift in Russia’s economic system.

In this video, I assess what that looks like for Ukraine and what it means for Russia’s defense spending.
