Russia's federal budget for 2027-2029 allocates approximately 865.6 billion rubles for socioeconomic development in occupied Ukrainian regions. This funding aims to strengthen Moscow's control over these territories, despite conflicting reports on military gains. The budget reflects a significant increase in infrastructure investment while reducing social spending. The program indicates a long-term institutional presence in occupied areas, combining financial support for housing and banking expansion. However, the effectiveness of these measures in establishing irreversible control remains uncertain due to various challenges.
