Next year, Moscow seeks to increase defense spending to 6.2% of the country's gross domestic product amid the war against Ukraine. This is reported by Bloomberg, which managed to familiarize itself with the draft budget of the Russian Federation for 2025, UNN reports.

Details

According to the document, the Russian government intends to increase defense spending to 13.2 trillion rubles ($142 billion) in 2025 from 10.4 trillion rubles planned for this year, which is 6.2% of gross domestic product.

It is also noted that military spending is planned to be reduced to 5.6% of GDP in 2026 and to 5.1% in 2027.

The publication indicates that spending on national defense and internal security will account for about 40% of Russia's total budgetary expenditures in 2025. As a result, the amount of funds allocated for defense is greater than the total allocations for education, healthcare, social policy and the national economy.
