Russian Panic Spreads - Joe Blogs
In this video I discuss the RUSSIAN announcement that it is CONSCRIPTING 133,000 additional men to the military before the end of December 2024. This is the sixth conscription that has been announced since the invasion of Ukraine and means that 1 million men have now been drafted into the armed forces. The removal of these workers is seriously bad news for the Russian Economy however the problem has been exacerbated by the mass exodus of 1.2 million workers to avoid being forced to fight in Ukraine and this latest announcement is likely to result in further panic amongst the workforce in Russia.
