Russia to Sharply Increase War Spending and Cut Social Programs
Russia is preparing a major budget shift that would sharply raise military spending while cutting social programs, according to a New York Times report. The move signals that Moscow plans to sustain its war effort in Ukraine at the expense of domestic welfare, a choice likely to weigh on ordinary Russians and fuel debate over the war's long-term economic cost.
Why now: News of Russia prioritizing military funding over social welfare highlights the mounting economic strain of the war in Ukraine.
