World military spending reached an all-time high of $2.24 trillion in 2022, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine fuelled a sharp jump in military spending across Europe.

SIPRI says most of that was linked to Russia and Ukraine, but other countries also stepped up military spending in response to perceived Russian threats.
