Russia plans to increase its military spending by billions of dollars in 2025. The Kremlin intends to raise military expenditures to $142 billion, which will represent 6.2% of the country's GDP. This amount will surpass Russia's combined spending on education, healthcare, social policy, and the national economy. This indicates that Russia has no intention of ending its aggression in Ukraine and is, in fact, preparing to continue the war. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-23/russia-budget-plans-show-no-let-up-in-putin-s-war-on-ukraine
@palin @noelreports Not really. The problem is entire Russian leadership. When Putin is replaced, Russia will pretend that it has changed and can be trusted. Don't believe it for a second.
