Maybe they just print the money. Isn’t that what dictatorships often end up doing?

Yeah but if they send these troops to the areas that are most deadly, then they don’t have to pay them for very long in the first place.

No need to print the money if you’re not actually spending it.

I invite them to do that. I’m sure the oligarchs will love having their local savings massively devalued, and won’t support a coup of any kind. /s

As much as I would love that, probably they don’t have their fortune in cash savings but most probably put it into diversified investments of some sorts.
