Ukraine

The Guardian -  Russia will be able to keep fighting against Ukraine throughout 2026 despite emerging economic and manpower pressures, while its missile and drone threat to Europe is growing, according to a leading military thinktank. Even if these pressures cause Moscow to cut back on military spending this year, it would come after this expenditure “doubled in real terms since 2021”, said Fenella McGerty, a defence finance expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
