Russia's budget plans point to years more war
Original: Russia’s spending plans show Putin preparing for years of war
Russia's new spending plans indicate President Vladimir Putin is preparing for a prolonged war in Ukraine, with heavy budget allocations directed toward defence and security rather than civilian priorities. The figures, reported by Bloomberg and picked up widely by international outlets, suggest the Kremlin expects the conflict to last well beyond the near term, reinforcing views that Moscow is not gearing up for imminent peace negotiations.
Why now: Fresh reporting on Russia's budget priorities suggests the Kremlin expects the Ukraine war to continue for years, with no end in sight.
