Vladimir Putin has signed a record national budget aimed at boosting the military amid staggering losses on the battlefield. After the budget was passed by the lower house of the parliament, speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said it was developed specifically to fund the military and to mitigate the impact of international sanctions imposed after Russia sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022.
