Document Purports to Show Russian Senators Warning Putin About Economic Crisis

An unverified document circulating on social media claims to show a dozen Russian Federation Council senators warning President Vladimir Putin about severe economic consequences if the war in Ukraine continues.

The four-page document, dated July 18, 2025, purports to be an official appeal from 12 senators to Putin “in connection with the current socio-economic situation in the country.” The document bears what appear to be official seals and signatures from senators representing various Russian regions.

According to the document, the senators allegedly warn of multiple economic problems, including job losses, reduced industrial production, budget deficits, and inflation. The purported appeal suggests that continuing the conflict while maintaining current policies could lead to “severe economic issues for Russia.”

Among those listed as signatories is Ivan Abramov, who serves as a Federation Council member representing Amur Oblast and sits on the Economic Policy Committee. 

This comes amid verified reports of economic pressure on Russia. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov told Putin in August that economic growth could slow to 1.5% in 2025, according to Russian media reports. Western sanctions and the ongoing conflict have created strains on the Russian economy.

The document first appeared on social media platforms with claims that it was obtained through a cyberattack on Senator Abramov’s email, though no government sources have confirmed such an incident.

Economic experts have noted that Russia faces genuine fiscal pressures from the prolonged conflict and international sanctions, making the concerns outlined in the document consistent with broader economic realities, regardless of the document’s authenticity.
