Russia to raise taxes, cut health spending to fund 2027 war budget
The Moscow Times·RU·2 days ago
A Russian military court has ordered Major General Sergei Nikitushkin, a senior training official who served in the war against Ukraine and was promoted in December 2024, to be held in custody. The charges are unspecified, but the detention of a high-ranking officer suggests internal military or legal scrutiny. This is a notable development in Russia's military justice system, though the broader implications remain unclear.
