“The Ministry of Finance plans to increase the defense budget to 10 trillion rubles (96 million euros). This is a 68% increase compared to 2023 and approximately 6 percent of GDP,” the ministry statement said.
The British Ministry of Defense states that Russia will achieve this goal by reducing funding for other sectors. However, the ministry reminds that this is only part of the information on Russia’s spending – the rest is confidential.
However, according to the information that has come to the public eye, it can be concluded that the occupiers are preparing for a war that could last several months.
