Russia-Ukraine war at a glance
Forbes Ukraine estimates that Russia has spent $28bn – or a quarter of its annual budget – on its war in Ukraine, which has lasted nine months so far.
Forbes reports:
This estimate includes the direct costs that are necessary to support military operations. But it does not include stable defence spending, or losses related to the economy.
In 2021, all budget revenues of Russia amounted to $340bn. That is, the Russian Federation has already spent a quarter of last year’s revenues on military operations.
