"The Kremlin’s response has rested on three pillars: mobilizing underutilized domestic labor, expanding prison labor, and increasing labor migration. Each proves to be either insufficient or self-defeating," write @msnegovaya.bsky.social & @sambendett.bsky.social Full piece in @foreignpolicy.com 👇

Each Kremlin solution (from younger workers and prison labor to increased migration) comes with constraints and costs and the issue is likely to get worse over time. foreignpolicy.com/2026/08/03/r...

Huge new report from us at CSIS. Bottom line, don't sleep on the Russian defense industry. They can produce at Soviet-style scale (their CEOs aren't waiting for long term contracts), they have market-competition, and are learning from the battlefield. Not as innovative as Ukraine, but a big concern.
