Senior Russian finance and central bank officials have warned Putin that current military spending risks sharply widening the budget deficit.
They have proposed further defense spending cuts, arguing that Russiaโs public finances will be difficult to stabilize without them.

Putin has reportedly instructed the Finance Ministry to find savings elsewhere in the budget before considering cuts to defense spending.
