European countries by military expenditure as a percentage of government expenditure

Add article description

There is a wide range in military spending throughout the European continent. In general, spending is low, with an average of around 3% of government spending, in comparison with an average of about 6.4% globally.[1] In 2020, Russia and Belarus spent more on the military than any other European countries. However, this data precedes the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which caused military spending in Ukraine to skyrocket.
