Russia’s weekly spending on war exceeds annual budgets of 80% of its regions

15 October 2024

Only 18 of Russia’s 83 regions have budgets that exceed the country’s weekly spending on the war against Ukraine.

Details: In 2025, Russia’s budget expenditures on the army and security forces will amount to US$110 billion (11.1 trillion roubles), or about US$2.17 billion (210 billion roubles) per week, which exceeds the annual budgets of 80% of Russian regions.

Among those with budgets that exceed the weekly cost of the war in Ukraine are Moscow, St Petersburg, Moscow Oblast and Leningrad Oblast, as well as regions with a developed mining and processing industry.

Meanwhile, 64 regions have budgets that are lower than Russia’s seven-day spending on the war in Ukraine. In almost a quarter of the regions, budgets are less than a third of a week’s military spending.

Four regions of Russia spend less per year than the country spends on the war in Ukraine in one day – US$310 million (30 billion roubles).

Background: Russia’s budget for 2025 includes an increase in spending on the defence and security sector.

And 90% of mafia land’s regions are already living in poverty, looking like the deepest Africa in most places and cesspools in the rest. All the crime syndicate’s riches are being burned for the little führer’s criminal war.
