Russia's "economy of death" could allow it to continue the war for another 5-6 years, according to Le Monde. The publication analyzes three growth factors: massive spending on the military industry, salaries for contract soldiers, and payments to families of the deceased. They note that the death of a Russian soldier brings more financial benefit to their family—up to 11 million rubles—than if the soldier were alive, creating an economic "bubble" that sustains the war.
