Moscow Times/AFP: Russia said Thursday that it plans to raise defense spending by almost 70% next year
Russia said Thursday that it plans to raise defense spending by almost 70% next year, funneling massive resources into its Ukraine offensive to fight what it calls a "hybrid war" unleashed by the West.
With Moscow's "special military operation" now dragging through its 20th month, both sides have been digging deep and procuring weapons from allies in preparation for a protracted conflict.
The announcement came as NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg and the defense ministers of Britain and France visited Kyiv, where President Volodymyr Zelensky lobbied for more air defense systems.

A horrible way to spend your money.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower
The Americans have a lot of bad actions to pay for. This one of them. Turning the Ukraine into a progressive nazi zombie land and having it provoke its larger neighbor, all in some ugly quest to keep a decrepit, , decadent empire on life support is criminal.
But not to worry, Lockheed and Raytheon are making lots of money. I am sure members of congress and Biden clown posse are getting their cut of the war profits.
Dont start that "Russia invaded" crap. People just don't just wake up in the morning and say let's invade. Just Look at Grenada and Panama, there are reasons for what happens. Pre 2014. there were little to no problems between the russians and Ukies. Certainly not enough to consider a war between the two.
But after dumping 5 billion in US dollars to sway opinion , nuland and her cronies did a Fine job of screwing up those peoples perceptions
Pushing the Ukrainians to provoke the russians was a sin, and it will be paid for.
Freddie tries walk away from his mess.
Looks like it wasn't a 3 day op after all
Yes well said
