Moscow won’t be able to afford troops in Ukraine past 2026: experts

Moscow won’t be able to afford troops in Ukraine past 2026: experts

Experts at the DC-based Institute for the Study of War suggest that Russia may be forced to end the war in Ukraine due to financial constraints. The country has already used up half of its $106 billion liquid sovereign-wealth fund, which is crucial for paying troops’ salaries and bonuses for new recruits.

At its current pace, Moscow may only be able to afford another 12 to 16 months of fighting, with a high number of Russian troops being killed or injured each month since the invasion began in 2022. George Barros, ISW’s Russia team lead, pointed out that Russia is facing economic limitations and a shortage of manpower.

The dwindling cash reserves have led to high inflation rates, making it difficult for Russia to sustain the war effort. Even President Trump has commented on the situation, urging Russia to end the war to prevent further loss of life.

This financial pressure could create an opportunity for the US to negotiate a peace deal with Putin. However, Russia’s recruitment efforts are struggling, with fewer people willing to join the fight. The country has had to offer substantial bonuses to attract new troops, but recruitment rates are declining.

Despite Russia’s attempts to finance the war through other means, the sovereign wealth fund remains the easiest source of funding. Depleting this fund could lead to domestic unrest and challenges for Putin.

As casualties continue to mount, Russia’s economic issues are likely to worsen, putting further strain on the war effort. The reliance on foreign troops, such as those from North Korea and China, is not sufficient to offset the high losses being incurred in the conflict.

Overall, the economic challenges Russia is facing may force the country to reconsider its military strategy in Ukraine and potentially seek a resolution to the conflict.

Seizing the Opportunity

The current economic challenges facing Moscow present a strategic opening for the US to exert pressure on Russia to comply with Trump’s peace initiatives. By continuing to provide military assistance to Ukraine, the US can incentivize Putin to hasten ceasefire efforts, enabling Kyiv to maintain its successful campaign against Russian forces.

“Ukraine, supported by the West, has the potential to expedite the economic and military pressure on Putin, compelling him to make tough decisions sooner rather than later,” stated Harward.

“It is time for the United States to challenge Putin and hold him accountable for the consequences of the war that has jeopardized Russia’s future.”

Russia is currently banking on the belief that the US will not extend further military aid to Ukraine, according to Barros. Without ongoing support, Russia’s unsustainable casualty rates may decrease, allowing the conflict to persist.

“The key factor in this conflict is the continued international backing of Ukraine,” he emphasized. “The resolution will ultimately be determined by whether it is a Russian or Ukrainian victory.”

Despite the challenges facing Russia in terms of time and resources, Barros cautioned against the White House rushing into a quick deal with Moscow over a more advantageous one.

“Trump has the opportunity to negotiate the best possible deal by being flexible with the timeline he set for himself to end the conflict within 100 days of his inauguration. It is essential to ensure that any resolution is on the most favorable terms, even if it means allowing Russia to face the consequences of their actions.”
