According to Siluanov, 32 percent of the state budget will go to the defense of Russia in 2025, which is the result of what he refers to as the special operation of the Russian military in Ukraine.
The defense budget will therefore be increased by 23 percent from this year and will be equal to approximately NOK 1,530 billion.
About 10 percent of the budget goes to pay military personnel, and the rest goes to operations and the purchase of weapons, ammunition and military supplies.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022 and now controls about 18 percent of the country.
