Original Note:
Russia currently spends 28.3% of its GDP on military and aims to increase that to 32.5% in 2025. Majority of this spending is connected to the extermination of Slavs (Ukrainians) in an invasion of Ukraine. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/30/europe/russia-defense-spending-proposal-ukraine-war-intl-hnk/ https://www.ft.com/content/0778af05-fde1-47e3-90e4-bf0b2411d155?sharetype=blocked https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/russias-unprecedented-war-budget-explained https://theconversation.com/russias-economy-is-now-completely-driven-by-the-war-in-ukraine-it-cannot-afford-to-lose-but-nor-can-it-afford-to-win-221333
