Russia to allocate $22 billion to friendly countries: what the funds will be used for.

According to inkorr.com: Russia intends to provide 'friendly countries' with loans amounting to a record $22 billion. Officially, these funds are designated for supporting exports and integration projects, but in reality, this is an attempt by the Kremlin to ensure political loyalty. Thus, the Russian government seeks to maintain its influence on the international stage, even amid the country's challenging economic situation.

Officially, these funds are intended 'to support exports and integration projects'. However, in fact, the Kremlin is buying political loyalty. Some of these states help Moscow bypass sanctions, trade oil and armaments, and also block anti-Russian resolutions at the UN.

According to sociological surveys, 70% of Russians believe it is necessary to reduce spending on national defense. This indicates that the authorities are trying to convince citizens of the need to sacrifice their own needs 'for the sake of the country.'

This news confirms that the Russian authorities prioritize political goals over the welfare of their own population, which is viewed as a resource for achieving the regime’s objectives.

In a situation where economic problems in Russia are becoming increasingly evident, such steps by the Kremlin to fund 'friendly countries' appear as attempts to strengthen allied relations, which may be important in foreign policy and military aspects. It also indicates a continuation of the course of isolation from Western countries and seeking new strategies to support the regime in difficult times.
