The documents show planned defence spending of 13 trillion roubles ($157 billion) in 2026, which would be the fifth year of the war in Ukraine. That is more than the 12.6 trillion roubles noted in preliminary Finance Ministry documents obtained by Reuters last week, but below this year's post-Soviet high of 13.5 trillion roubles. How the money will actually be spent is unclear, because 84% of defence expenditure is classified. A source with knowledge of the budget process told Reuters that defence spending can be increased rapidly if necessary. The share of defence and security spending is set to fall to 38% of total budget expenditure from a record 41% last year.
