Russia's labor shortage worsens as over 70% of citizens support the Ukraine invasion

Russia faces a severe labor shortage, potentially impacting its economy. Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina warned of unprecedented labor shortages, rising production costs, and a overheated economy contributing to inflation and external economic challenges. Despite economic warnings, over 70% of Russians still support the Ukraine invasion, which has led to significant international sanctions and the withdrawal of over 1,000 multinational corporations.
