Kremlin Just Did The Unthinkable. - The Russian Dude

Russia’s 2026 budget exposes one of the most shocking financial decisions in modern Russian history: the Kremlin is now borrowing money from the future to fund today’s war. The Ministry of Finance openly digs into generations that haven’t been born yet, selling off Russia’s tomorrow to pay for a war that is destroying its present. This budget isn’t about stability or growth — it is a confession of collapse. A state drowning in expenses, raising taxes on everything, borrowing at insane interest rates, and quietly admitting that the war is nowhere near ending.

The so-called “three-year plan” for 2026–2028 is pure fiction, a fantasy built on numbers that will be rewritten within months, just like every previous year of the war. The deficit is spiraling, debt payments are exploding, and Putin’s regime is recreating a Venezuelan-style economic collapse despite sitting on massive oil and gas revenues. Oil income is falling, investment is dying, and the government is desperately taxing imports, small businesses, used cars, kiosks, and anything else it can find. With Russia cut off from global markets and forced to borrow internally at 15% interest, nearly the entire 2026 deficit will be spent just servicing old debt. This is financial self-destruction disguised as patriotism. The Kremlin is burning the country’s future in order to burn Ukraine’s present, pushing Russia into a wartime economic abyss that will last far beyond the war itself.

This video breaks down the collapsing three-year projections, the spiraling deficit crisis, the cracking illusion of prosperity, and the dangerous shift toward a Venezuelan-style meltdown — all driven by Putin’s decision to destroy Russia’s future to keep an unwinnable war alive.
