Russia plans 27% jump in 2027 military spending
Original: EXCLUSIVE: Russia raises 2027 military spending by 27%, budget documents show
Budget documents reported by Reuters show Russia plans to raise its military spending by 27% in 2027, a sharp increase that signals continued prioritisation of the war economy. The figure points to sustained high defence outlays even as the conflict in Ukraine grinds on, raising questions about fiscal sustainability and Moscow's long-term intentions.
Why now: Newly revealed budget figures suggest Russia is entrenching wartime-level defence spending well into the future.
