Abstract:

An increase in Russia’s defence spending is expected to bolster its military advantage over Ukraine in the short term, resulting in expanded territorial gains and a better negotiating position. In the long term, such expenditure will be difficult to sustain due to the strain on the economy. Therefore, it may be in Russia’s interest to temporarily freeze the conflict in order to gain time to acquire the capabilities to fully subjugate Ukraine in the long term and make its threats of escalation against NATO credible.
