"I am hinting that there is never any extra money.

It was not and will not be.

If it is necessary, then it is necessary.

If we can suffer, then we must suffer," Lukashenka said at a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and State Secretary of the Security Council, Alexander Valfovich.

How much is spent on security forces

1.8 billion rubles, or 751 million dollars, are the expenses in the budget for this year for national defense.

Of them, 1.69 billion rubles are for the army.

3.1 billion rubles, or 1.3 billion dollars, were allocated in the budget for this year for "judiciary, law enforcement and security".

This is 20 times more than the budget for culture.

  • Of this, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has 1.1 billion rubles, or 478 million dollars

  • For the prosecutor's office - 110 million rubles, or 46 million dollars

  • The KGB has 241 million rubles, or 100 million dollars

In 2021, the budget allocated 1.025 billion rubles ($406 million at the then average annual exchange rate) for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and 1.364 billion rubles ($541 million) for defense and the armed forces.

As we can see, these expenses have increased.
