Russian State Media Urges 6-Day Work Week to Fund Ukraine Invasion and Boost War Effort

Russian state media and businesses are petitioning for a 6-day work week without additional pay to fund the war in Ukraine, according to UK intelligence. The move reflects a "Soviet-style sense of societal compulsion" and creates a communal effort around the war. Meanwhile, other countries have experimented with 4-day work weeks and found positive results for employees. The call for sacrifice comes as a Wagner Group leader warns of a potential revolution as Russian elite families refuse to send their children to die in Ukraine.
