As Donald Trump mulls sanctions, Russia's military economy slows
Agencies After three years of doom-defying growth, Russia's heavily militarized economy is slowing, facing a widening budget deficit and weak oil prices, all under the threat of more Western sanctions. Huge spending on guns, tanks, drones, missiles and soldiers for the Ukraine campaign helped ensure Moscow bucked predictions of economic collapse after it launched its offensive in 2022. But as Kyiv's most important backers head Sunday to Canada for the G7, where US President Donald Trump will face pressure to hit Russia with fresh sanctions, the Kremlin's run of economic fortune is showing signs of fatigue. 'It is no longer possible to pull the economy along by the military-industrial complex alone,' Natalia Zubarevich, an economist at Moscow State University, told AFP. Government spending has jumped 60 percent since before the offensive, with military outlays now at nine percent of GDP, according to President Vladimir Putin. 'Almost every other sector is showing zero or even negative growth,' said Zubarevich. Russia's economy expanded 1.4 percent on an annualized basis in the first quarter—down from 4.1 percent in 2024 to its lowest reading in two years. The central bank predicts growth of no more than 1-2 percent this year. Russia's economy 'is simply running out of steam', Alexandra Prokopenko, a former central bank advisor and now analyst based outside Russia, wrote in a recent note. Putin, who has revelled in Russia's strong performance, has brushed off concerns. 'We do not need such growth,' he said at the end of last year, when the slowdown started. Rapid expansion risked creating 'imbalances in the economy, that could cause us harm in the long run', he said. Top among those imbalances has been rapid inflation, running at around 10 percent. The Central Bank last week nudged interest rates down from a two-decade-high saying price rises were moderating. But those high borrowing costs—combined with falling oil prices—are the main factors behind the slowdown, economist Anton Tabakh told AFP. Russia's Urals blend of crude oil sold for an average of $52 a barrel in May, down from $68 in January—a big reduction in energy revenues, which make up more than a quarter of government income. Russia this year has raised taxes on businesses and high earners, essentially forcing them to stump up more for the Ukraine offensive. But the new income 'only covers the shortfall in oil sales', said Zubarevich. With tighter finances, Russia's parliament was this week forced to amend state spending plans for 2025. It now expects a budget deficit of 1.7 percent of GDP—three times higher than initially predicted. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is urging Trump to whack a fresh set of economic sanctions on Moscow as punishment for rejecting ceasefire calls and continuing with its deadly bombardments of Ukrainian cities. 'Russia doesn't really care about such human losses. What they do worry about are harsh sanctions,' Zelensky said Thursday. 'That's what really threatens them—because it could cut off their funding for war and force them to seek peace,' he added. Trump's intentions are unclear. He has publicly mulled both hitting Moscow with new sanctions and removing some of the measures already in place. Some US senators, including Republicans, have proposed hitting countries that buy Russian oil with massive tariffs, to try to dent the flow of billions of dollars to Moscow from the likes of China and India. In Moscow, officials flip between blasting sanctions as an 'illegal' attack on Russia and brushing them off as an ineffective tool that has backfired on Europe and the United States. Russia has also talked up its ability to continue fighting for years—whatever the West does—and has geared its economy to serving the military. Moscow still has the cash to wage its conflict 'for a long time', Zubarevich said. 'Through 2025 definitely. 2026 will be a bit tougher but they will cut other expenses. This (military) spending will stay.'

Large US military parade takes place as hundreds demonstrate against Trump
dpa Washington A large military parade was held in the US capital Washington on Saturday to mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the US Army. It is also the birthday of US President Donald Trump, who turned 79 years old on Saturday. The parade - also seen as a display of military power - was countered by a series of demonstrations against Trump and his policies in hundreds of locations across the country. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said more than 5 million people nationwide rallied at over 2,100 events across the US. 'Today's protests are a resounding message that people across the nation will not be intimidated by President Trump's fear tactics,' ACLU chief political and advocacy officer Deirdre Schifeling said in a statement. 'Americans are brave, democracy loving people and will not sit idly by as the Trump administration feeds our Constitution into the shredder - nor will the ACLU.' As the protests were held, about 7,000 soldiers in modern and historical uniforms took part in the military parade in Washington. More than a hundred vehicles and aircraft, including heavy armoured vehicles, were also on display. The parade ran for several blocks towards the White House. Trump watched on from a grandstand, before addressing the crowd. 'America stands tall, America stands proud, and America stands free. We're the hottest country in the world right now,' Trump told the crowd. 'And our country will soon be greater and stronger than ever before.' Every other country celebrated their victories, he said. 'It's about time America did too.' During his first term in office, Trump had wanted a military parade based on the French model. However, he cancelled the plan due to the high costs. Many of the people at the parade were holding US flags, some were wearing red MAGA - Make America Great Again - caps showing their support for Trump's agenda.
