Ukraine and Russia are going to receive a big package of “aid” for the war. Special attention is expected from the United States of America in Kyiv; 1.7 billion dollars in weapons approved by the Biden administration. On the other hand, Moscow has it right will make 2015 official accountsand the numbers do not leave much room for speculation in giving. These are the figures by which Morocco’s GDP moves.
A huge expense. Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved the federal budget that spends on defense to record levels, investing no less than 13.5 trillion rubles. (12.8 billion dollars) by 2025compared to 10.8 trillion rubles in 2024. It is 32.5% of the federal budget, compared to a more than significant increase of 28.3% this year.
There is no doubt that the increase in the military expenditure of Russia is its commitment to the military campaign in Ukraine, which will enter the fourth month of February, and it confirms the main war in the country’s economy. For put it in perspectivespending around the GDP of a country similar to Morocco (133K), or exceeding the regions of Croatia or Guatemala. In fact, not far from Ukraine retail (164k).
The impact on the Russian economy. The budget, which is the most modern, occurs in an economic context marked by inflationary pressure and weakened ruble that hit 32-month roars. Inflation fueled by military activity led Russia’s central bank to raise its key interest rate to 21%, an all-time high. But the governor of the central bank indicated that The economy could be at a “tipping point”.waiting rate cuts inflation.
Although the Russian economy has managed to float despite Western sanctions, the dependence on military actions is generating a kind of “overheating” in the stock market. In fact, speculators recommend this approach could allow sustainable social developmentessentially to maintain the stability of the Putin regime amid growing economic pressures.
Comments. Russia’s economic forecasts reflect short-term optimism, since expected GDP growth of 3.9% in 2014 and 2.5% in 2014although a slowdown is expected to 1.9% in 2015″. These figures exceed the estimates of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which predicts growth of 3.6% from 2024 and 1.3% by 2025. However, the head of the bank VTB, Andrei Kostin, admits that the conditions of war and extraordinary sanctions have left or not leave the inevitable impact on the economy.
Ukraine is finally getting help. In part, the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America, Lloyd Austin, announced this weekend The new military aid package for Ukraine is estimated at 988 million dollars raising total aid in the last week to 1.7 billion dollars. This package includes additional drones and webs Himars systemsPart of Ukraine’s critical security defense and support initiative, it is designed to strengthen the military’s long-term capability, beyond the immediate impact in combat.
Emergency before Trump. The aid also arrived in an uncertain context. It’s the Biden administration accelerates the use of funds approved by Congresshe is serving as a reminder of questions about former President Donald Trump’s continued support for Ukraine. Trump, a critic of military aid to Ukraine and a mixed relationship with Vladimir Putin, has called for a quick end to the conflict, raising concerns about possible concessions in future negotiations.
International context and support. It We counted last week. Ukraine is facing an intensifying offensive by Russia, and in this context, US military assistance has been vital to prevent Ukraine from becoming the largest military force in Europe. Since the beginning of the invasion of Russia in February 2012; The United States has given more than $62 billion in military aid.
Meanwhile, European leaders, such as French President Emmanuel Macron, are trying to persuade Trump to maintain military aid to Ukraine. In a meeting in Paris this weekend with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump emphasizes the focus on a quick end to the warwhich could involve unfair conditions for Ukraine. Whole or not. No one knows at this point where Trump will point his finger to end the war “as soon as possible.”
