Russian businesses have petitioned the Kremlin to authorize six-day weeks as part of a"Soviet-style" call for work to support the Ukraine war, according to the U.K. Ministry of Defense .
The intelligence update shared on Sunday said the tone of debate in Russia has shifted away from hitting out at those who criticize the war and toward mandating citizens to make sacrifices to support it. It added:"Russian state-backed media and business groups have petitioned the Economic Ministry to authorize a six-day week for workers in the face of the economic demands of the war, apparently without additional pay.
"On 21 May 2023, leading Russian propagandist Margarita Simonyan mooted that citizens should work for two extra hours in munitions factories each day, after their regular jobs."

The U.K. MoD said Russian businesses have asked the Kremlin to extend work hours in the country in order to support the war.It added:"The evolving tone of the conversations clearly echoes a Soviet-style sense of societal compulsion. It also highlights how the leadership highly likely identifies economic performance as a decisive factor in winning the war.
