🇷🇺 "For the first time in modern history, the country is set to spend 6% of gross domestic product (GDP) on the military, and defense spending will exceed social spending. The war against Ukraine and the West is not only the Kremlin’s biggest priority..."
🔶️ "Defense spending in 2024 will almost double compared to this year. While that is less than the 12–17% of GDP that the Soviet Union was spending on defense at the height of the Cold War, it is comparable to U.S. military expenditure in the 1980s."
🔶️ "The Kremlin isn’t just gearing up for a prolonged war in Ukraine, but apparently sees certain economic benefits from such a scenario. Unlike oil, guns drive industrial growth: economic growth reached 4.9% in July. Industries directly related to the war have seen spectacular growth: production of transport is up 66.7% from last year, computers and electronics are up 42.6%, navigation devices 72.4%, electrical equipment 29.5%, and protective clothing 40.4%. Industries indirectly linked to the fighting are also experiencing abnormally high growth rates: equipment repair and installation is up 8.5%, while the food industry saw 11.3% growth."
