Officials in the eastern Russian regions of Buryatia and Sakha announced they will not hold New Year's parties, opting to reallocate funds to support military efforts in Ukraine.
The government of Buryatia suggested that public administrators should not hold festive events during the ongoing military operation, stating it is 'wrong' to do so.
This marks the third consecutive year that Russia has reduced New Year celebrations in various regions to fund military activities, reflecting ongoing prioritization of the war.
Local governments in multiple Russian regions, including Sakha and Leningrad, are redirecting festive funds to military spending, planning limited celebrations for this year.
