🇺🇸🇷🇺A Russian victory in the war would cost the U.S. over $800 billion more than supporting Ukraine, according to a report by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).

Experts believe that Putin’s successful invasion would “reshape Europe and embolden Russia to threaten NATO allies.” In that case, the U.S. would have to increase spending by over $800 billion by 2029 to contain or, if necessary, defeat Russia beyond Ukraine, the outlet reports.

This figure would raise the current five-year Pentagon plan to $5.2 trillion from $4.4 trillion, or approximately $165 billion more annually than currently budgeted.
