Russia to raise military spending by a third in 2027
Original: Russia will increase military spending by a third in 2027 – it will become the highest since the time of the USSR
Reports say Russia will increase its military spending by roughly a third in 2027, taking defense expenditure to its highest level since the Soviet era. The plan signals continued prioritisation of the war effort and defense industry, and is drawing attention amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and debate over Western support for Kyiv.
Why now: Escalating Russian defense budgets are seen as a signal of prolonged war and rising tensions with the West.
