Russia shows no signs of slowing down its invasion in Ukraine, even as its economy feels the pressure of war and the military suffers increasing losses, according to a prominent think tank. At the same time, Moscow’s arsenal of missiles and drones is becoming a direct threat to Europe, reports The Guardian.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“There are few indications that Russia’s ability to continue the war against Ukraine for the fifth year has diminished,”<\/em> said Bastian Giegerich, General Director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the IISS, Russia spent at least $186 billion on defense in 2025, a 3% increase in real terms, equivalent to 7.3% of GDP – more than double the amount spent by the USA and about three times more than the UK.<\/p>\n

Fenella McGerty, a finance expert at the aforementioned think tank, estimates that the slowing economy could slightly reduce military spending in 2026, but years of rapid growth have given Russia a strong war chest. “Military spending has doubled in real terms since 2021,” she said.<\/p>\n

Since the invasion in 2022, Ukraine has resisted, but Moscow continues intense operations, even after recording over 1.2 million casualties according to Western estimates.<\/p>\n

“Despite Western discussions about a ceasefire, Russia is intensifying attacks on critical infrastructure and urban centers, using cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and kamikaze drones,”<\/em> Giegerich emphasizes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
