Vladimir Putin's claim to have restored law and order in Russia is increasingly undermined by rising serious crimes and organized crime offenses linked to the Ukraine war, with police forces depleted by military deployments and unofficial vigilante patrols emerging across the country. Official data shows overall crime rates fell to a 16-year low, but serious crimes surged to a 15-year high, raising concerns that Russia is reverting to the lawlessness of the 1990s.
