- Trust 42 of 100, higher is better. Central claims attributed to named bodies and figures given with origins, but relies on anonymous sourcing for budget details.
- Craft 57 of 100, higher is better. Reports include quotes and context, but lack direct comment from affected parties or opposition.
- Hype 41 of 100, lower is better. Headlines promise a strong call to action, but the body of the reports is more measured.

**The short version**

- Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged the State Duma to "do everything for our victory" in Ukraine.
- Putin called for a "balanced" budget for the next three years, prioritising macroeconomic stability and social programmes.
- International press leaks suggest Russia plans to increase defence spending to 50 trillion rubles over three years.
- The Communist party has raised concerns about electoral irregularities, while activists have called for protests against alleged fraud.

Russian President Vladimir Putin opened the ninth legislative session of the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, with a call for lawmakers to prioritise efforts towards victory in Ukraine. He addressed deputies, urging them to focus on state matters, including strengthening national defence, and to "do everything for our victory."

Putin also called on parliamentarians to approve a "balanced" budget for the upcoming triennium. This budget, he stated, should maintain macroeconomic stability while continuing to fund social programmes. International press leaks suggest Russia intends to increase defence spending significantly, potentially reaching 50 trillion rubles over the next three years.

## Disagreement on budget details

La Razón reported that increased defence spending would lead to decreased social spending, as well as reduced investment in healthcare, education, road construction, infrastructure, and agricultural subsidies. None of the other reports mentioned these specific consequences of the budget proposals.

## What the coverage left out

None of the right-rated reports mentioned the Communist party's questioning of the constitutional majority of United Russia due to alleged irregularities in electronic voting and vote counting. Similarly, the call for protests against alleged electoral fraud by activists, and the authorities' refusal to grant permission, were not mentioned in the right-rated reports.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

No separate framing summary.

### Centre

- The centre-rated report from Hola News led with Putin's call to "do everything for victory" in Ukraine. It also mentioned the proposed increase in defence spending in the new budget, citing EFE news agency. The report noted Putin's call for a balanced budget that maintains economic stability and social programmes.

### Right

- Right-rated reports from La Razón, REALITATEA.NET, news-pravda.com, El Universo, and vz.ru all highlighted Putin's directive to the State Duma to "do everything for our victory" in Ukraine. La Razón, which provided a full report, detailed Putin's call for a balanced budget that supports social programmes alongside defence. This report also noted international press leaks suggesting defence spending could reach 50 trillion rubles over three years and detailed potential cuts to social spending as a consequence. Other right-rated digests mentioned the call for victory and the need for a balanced budget. vz.ru noted Putin's announcement about strengthening the Duma with veterans of the special military operation.
