Russia plans to spend 17.1 trillion roubles ($202.58 billion) on its military in 2027, about 27% more than previously budgeted, Reuters reported. That would be its highest military spending since the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Budget documents also show plans for 50 trillion roubles over three years, while Vladimir Putin signed a decree adding 15,500 personnel to the armed forces.

If the gap remains, they must begin liquidating reserves and redeeming tokens by 5 p.m. the next business day—often within 48 hours. The proposal also allows minting during the rescue window, to avoid signaling distress on public blockchains.
