According to the Forbes, in the fall, russian military spending doubled. Now the war is taking at least $10 billion a month from the russians. This was influenced by partial mobilization — 30 000 recruits will cost Russia an additional $1.8 billion per month.
After mobilization, the total cost of salaries for the military fighting in Ukraine is approximately $2.7 billion. Accordingly, the costs of arming and equipping soldiers have increased, as well as compensation payments — for each dead soldier, his family should receive 7.4 million rubles (approximately $110 000).

The losses of the russian aviation in terms of money amount to $8 billion. And the total value of the lost equipment during the nine months of the war is almost $20.8 billion.
In addition, according to the Oryx project, Ukrainian defenders captured at least 1 953 units of russian heavy weapons. The total value of these trophies is almost $2 billion, without light weapons and ammunition.
