Bloomberg reported that senior Russian officials have spent recent months trying to open foreign bank accounts and move assets abroad, amid rumors of a new mobilization wave. The report, citing documents obtained by the outlet, suggests unease within Russia's elite about the war's trajectory. The findings point to concerns among officials about potential asset freezes or further escalation, and follow a pattern of Russian elites seeking to safeguard wealth outside the country since the start of the full-scale invasion.
