Record war spending, a stalled economy: can Putin afford 2027?
Russia is heading into 2027 with record military spending while its civilian economy stalls, raising questions about whether the Kremlin can sustain both. Analysts at The Bell ask whether Putin can afford the coming year, as defence budgets crowd out investment and growth weakens.
