Russia to Spend Over a Trillion Dollars on Rearmament

Russia plans to devote the equivalent of $1.1 trillion to rearmament spending by 2036, according to an assessment by Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate published Tuesday.

• The current federal budget allocates some 13.5 trillion rubles (us$145 billion) to national defense. This represents around 7 percent of Russia’s gross domestic product.
• Spending $1.1 trillion from 2026 to 2036 for rearmament would be in addition to the nonrearmament military expenditure.
• This could bring the total defense allocation for these years to some 13 percent of gdp.

Imposing Russia’s vision: Ukrainian Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov explained Russia’s goal with its growing defense spending. “Moscow aims to impose on countries its own vision of the future world order, where ‘great’ powers, primarily the Russian Federation, possess the full power, a monopoly on all critical resources, and in a closed circle decide the fate of the world,” he said.

Toward this end, there is “total mobilization of Russia’s politics, economy and society to prepare for a future large-scale war.”

Prophesied rise: Biblical prophecy shows that Russian President Vladimir Putin will soon lead the largest military alliance in history. The nation’s increase in military spending highlights Putin’s increasing determination to dominate and sets the stage for his continued rise.
