据彭博社报道，今年前九个月，由于克里姆林宫加大对乌克兰的军事行动力度，俄罗斯联邦预算支出增长了14.5%。
Russia’s federal budget spending increased 14.5% in the first nine months of the year amid the Kremlin’s intensifying war on Ukraine.
根据财政部周五公布的数据，这一时期的支出额从去年同期的30.4万亿卢布增至34.8万亿卢布（约合4090亿美元）。同期预算赤字为5.19万亿卢布，占国内生产总值（GDP）的2.2%。
Expenditures in the period rose to 34.8 trillion rubles ($409 billion) from 30.4 trillion rubles a year earlier, according to Finance Ministry data published Friday. The budget shortfall was 5.19 trillion rubles, or 2.2% of gross domestic product, it said.
这些数据反映出持续了近五年的乌克兰战争所带来的高昂成本，以及战争开支的增加与财政收入的减少如何给国家财政带来巨大压力。预计今年仅与战争相关的支出就将达到17万亿卢布，较政府2025年底制定的原计划高出约40%。
The figures reflect the escalating cost of the war in Ukraine, now well into its fifth year, and how spending on the invasion coupled with weaker revenue is straining public finances. War-related spending alone is set reach 17 trillion rubles this year, about 40% higher than the original plan announced by the government at the end of 2025.
这种状况导致预算压力剧增，赤字规模也不断扩大。财政部预测，今年全年预算赤字将达7.35万亿卢布，相当于GDP的3.2%，这一数值几乎是最初预计的3.8万亿卢布的两倍。
That’s putting pressure on the budget, and causing the deficit to widen. The Finance Ministry projects the shortfall to end the year at 7.35 trillion rubles, or 3.2% of gross domestic product and nearly double the 3.8-trillion gap initially planned.
数据显示，今年3月和4月是财政支出最高的时期，每月支出额均约为4.7万亿卢布。年初支出激增的部分原因在于政府为各类合同及公共采购提前支付了大量款项。
The Finance Ministry recorded its highest spending in March and April, with outlays reaching roughly 4.7 trillion rubles each month. The elevated spending early in the year was driven in part by extensive advance payments for government contracts and public procurement.
此后支出规模有所回落，8月份支出额降至3.19万亿卢布，当月俄罗斯还实现了近一年来最大的月度预算盈余。
Spending eased after that, and was around 3.19 trillion rubles in August, when Russia posted its biggest monthly budget surplus in a year.
与此同时，俄罗斯央行警告称，政府支出水平居高不下可能会限制决策者下调借贷成本的空间。
The Bank of Russia, meanwhile, has cautioned that elevated levels of government spending may limit policymakers’ room to lower borrowing costs.
