Vladimir Putin set to impose biggest tax hike in 25 years to pay for Ukraine war

Vladimir Putin is set to impose the largest tax hike on Russians in 25 years in order to pay for the war in Ukraine.

The Kremlin says only the wealthiest will be affected but it's a move that suggests the Russian economy may have reached its limits.

It's not a tax hike its a Special Tax Operation.

They wouldn't need to increase their defense budget if they just got the hell out of another country.

[andreascy]

But the Russian economy has not been affected by sanctions... right?

[mrbaywatch]

All Russia has to do is bring their troops back home and admit that they made a mistake with this massacre of their making. They would save money and lives and avoid WW3.

Russian global trade is doing wonderfully. They're exchanging multi-million dollar tanks for Ukranian $1, 000 kamikaze drones. A roaring trade. 🤣🤣🤣
