    Independent journalists Farida Rustamova and Maksim Tovkaylo estimate that approximately 39% of all federal spending in 2024 will be directed towards defence and law enforcement.

    39% might be even higher percentage than Ukraine. Not sure if there’s any other country that would spend larger portion of their budget on military.

    Absolutely crazy to spend that on offensive war.

      It is an offensive war, but a defensive decision.

      If the house of cards collapses, all of these people are in deep shit.
