Draft documents say defence and security will make up 40% of government spending as Putin continues war against Ukraine.

Russia is to increase its spending on defence by 25% to its highest on record, as Vladimir Putin vows to continue his war efforts in Ukraine and further escalate his standoff with the west.

The latest planned increase in spending will take Russia’s defence budget to a record 13.5tn rubles (£109bn) in 2025, according to draft budget documents published on Monday on the parliament’s website. That is about 3tn rubles more than was set aside for defence this year, which was the previous record.

Taken together, spending on defence and security will account for about 40% of Russia’s total government spending – or 41.5tn rubles in 2025.

I see the Ukrainian propaganda agents are starting to slither out again. You’ve been quiet since Zelensky’s disastrous visit to the US.

Considering the Russkies have a severe inflation problem like the rest of us perhaps the 25% increase is really keeping the military budget about the same. Yawn.

Irrespective, they are going to face severe economic problems. Their men are in the army, and their production is being used mostly to fight the war. Of course thats true on both sides.

We get it. You’re jealous of the U.S. military. Typical Russian inferiority complex.
