Russia's latest defense budget positions military spending at a historic high, accounting for one-third of the federal budget, while economic pressures escalate.
Putin's defense budget for 2025 signifies a systematic increase in military funding even amid strong inflation pressures and currency decline, as the war into its fourth year persists.
Despite international sanctions, Russia maintains economic stability primarily through military-driven initiatives, though inflation is prompting significant adjustments by its central bank.
Analysts caution that increased funding may not enhance military capabilities significantly, as substantial portions will be allocated to veteran and soldier benefits rather than operational improvements.
