Ukraine has so far received €41.3 billion ($40.77) in military assistance for its resistance against the Russian invasion.
In 2021 however, Russia increased its military expenditure by 2.9 percent, to $65.9 billion, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute .
If Russia's defense budget remained the same this year, Ukraine military aid would be worth 61.87 percent of this figure. However, it is unlikely that Russia's military spending went down this year, amid the Ukraine war, and as Putin has acknowledged that the countryThe Jamestown Foundation, a U.S. defense policy think tank, has assessed that the true amount for Russian defense spending in 2022 may well reach as much as 5.5 trillion rubles by the end of the year, based on data from Budget.gov.ru.
Further, the think tank notes that the"turbulence in Russian defense spending" will probably increase in 2023. "The budget proposal for 2023 considers almost five trillion rubles for defense and 4.2 trillion rubles for security and law enforcement, up from the previously planned 3.6 trillion rubles and 2.9 trillion rubles , respectively," the Jamestown Foundation report states.The military assistance provided to Ukraine by its allies does not amount to 86 percent of Russia's defense budget.
