Since money appears to be largest motivating factor for enlistment as demonstrated by ever increasing pay and enlistment bonuses , that would be the “ benefit “
Will see how that pans out for Russians amd Russian society.

Rob Dannenberg:
While the ability of the Russian population to endure suffering should not be underestimated, there is emerging evidence of discontent within Russia's elite circles. The incoming Trump team should listen to the Ukrainians. They know Russia best. There is a reason they are taking the war to Russia, both in the Kursk salient and via drone attacks that are reaching into Russian territory. Ukrainians are making that difficult because they understand the fissures in Putin's base of support.
President Trump has the opportunity to secure a place in the pantheon of great western leaders if he uses the early days of his administration to remove any illusion Putin may have that the Trump plan to end the war will be something that Putin can portray domestically or internationally as a victory.
To the contrary, the Trump team should distinguish and distance itself from the pathetic path of the Biden administration in dealing with Russia and the enemies of the west. The U.S. has been slow and cautious in providing anything other than rhetorical support to Ukraine. We have barely provided enough for Ukraine to survive and not nearly enough for them to achieve anything close to victory or to have dissuaded Putin from his relentless attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. From Day One President Trump should do something Biden was never willing to do and firmly state a commitment to Ukraine's victory. A good place to start would be to review what Roosevelt and Churchill did at Casablanca.

I wonder about this “endure suffering”, IMO, they “endure” suffering because the alternative is far worse like all expense paid vacation to Siberia or flying lessons from a 13th story window.
As to the oligarchs that is something to consider. Putin has stayed in power and alive because he has made a small circle of people very rich, and a security apparatus that is ruthless.
The oligarchs may be getting tired of losing their wealth, and the security apparatus is being weakened by war demands.
Many a dictator has been taken down by those closest to them

Ukraine's Air Force reports on a combined missile and drone attack overnight and this morning. Russia used 7 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles, 7 Iskander-K cruise missiles, 8 Kh-22/32 cruise missiles, 4 Kalibr cruise missiles, 8 Kh-101/55cm cruise missiles, 10 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles, 2 Kh-31P anti-aircraft missiles and 123 Shahed drones.
They shot down 56 Shahed drones and supressed another 61 with electronic warfare means.
Also 'significant part' of the missiles were shot down or didn't reach their intended targets although this time no exact numbers were provided.
A Kh-22 hit a residential building in Poltava while ballistic missiles destroyed the Historical Center in Odesa.

“Why is Ukraine destroying our refineries? Why isn’t our air defense intercepting these advanced American weapons?” said Ivan Gulashov to RT news “These are civilian infrastructures, the enemy has no pride, they are destroying our economy. Average Russian didn’t do any harm.”
