By contrast, Washinhton pledged a total of $127 billion to Kyiv over the previous three years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the decrease is expected to be short-lived as the US Congress has approved spending of over $1 trillion for 2026, which could rise to $1.5 trillion in 2027 if US President Donald Trump\u2019s budget proposal passes.<\/p>\n<p>The main driver of the global increase was Europe \u2014 including Russia and Ukraine \u2014 where spending surged 14 percent to $864 billion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is driven by two major factors. One is the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the other is the decreased US engagement with Europe,\u201d Scarazzato said.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the US is \u201cpushing for Europe to take more care of its own defence\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Germany, the fourth-largest spender, raised expenditure by 24 percent in 2025 to $114 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Spain also recorded a 50 percent jump to $40.2 billion, pushing military spending above two percent of GDP for the first time since 1994.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Middle East tensions \u2013<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing war in Ukraine saw both Russia and Ukraine increase their military spending, with each recording the highest share of government spending allocated to the military.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s spending rose 5.9 percent to $190 billion, equivalent to 7.5 percent of GDP.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine meanwhile boosted spending by 20 percent to $84.1 billion \u2014 a staggering 40 percent of GDP.<\/p>\n<p>Despite persistent tensions in the Middle East, expenditure in the region rose only marginally, by 0.1 percent, to $218 billion.<\/p>\n<p>While most countries in the region increased spending, Israel and Iran actually recorded declines.<\/p>\n<p>In Iran, it fell 5.6 percent to $7.4 billion, but this was mostly due to high annual inflation of 42 percent. In nominal terms, spending actually rose.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s 4.9 percent drop to $48.3 billion reflected a reduced intensity in the Gaza war after a January 2025 ceasefire deal, the researchers explained, while noting Israeli spending was still 97 percent higher than in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In Asia and Oceania, spending reached $681 billion, an 8.5 percent increase from 2024 \u2014 the region\u2019s largest annual increase since 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Scarazzato said the \u201cmajor player\u201d in the region was China, which has been increasing spending every year for the past three decades, and spent an estimated $336 billion in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut perhaps what\u2019s interesting is the reaction of some other states, such as South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, reacting to the threat perception,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Japan raised military expenditure by 9.7 percent, to $62.2 billion in 2025, equivalent to 1.4\u00a0percent of GDP \u2014 its highest share since 1958 \u2014 while Taiwan increased its spending by 14 percent to $18.2 billion.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
