Putin’s corporate war machine: What Russia’s big businesses provide | Eastern Express

Russia’s war effort reaches beyond weapons manufacturers into major civilian businesses. Jonasz Rewiński and his guest Mark McNamee examine investigations linking corporate money and recruitment arrangements to soldiers fighting in Ukraine. We look at Novatek, a published recruitment requirement in the Ryazan region, and the wider financial pressures facing Russian companies. The episode distinguishes direct military support from taxation, wartime profits and claims about political bargains. What do corporate payments and management decisions reveal about the relationship between big business and the Kremlin?
