Russia to cut welfare and education spending in 2027
Original: Russia to cut welfare, education funding in 2027 as war spending soars
Russia plans to cut welfare and education funding in its 2027 budget while war spending continues to rise sharply. The shift, reported by Reuters, signals that the Kremlin is prioritizing the military effort in Ukraine over domestic social programs, forcing ordinary Russians to bear more of the conflict's economic cost.
Why now: Moscow's budget priorities are shifting further toward the war in Ukraine, raising concerns about the impact on Russian households and public services.
