The article examines current trends in defence financing among leading world powers. A comparative analysis of the structural elements of defence budgets in the United States, China, Russia, France and other countries has been conducted. Key priorities in defence funding are identified and proposals are provided for optimizing Ukraine’s defence budget based on international experience. Particular attention is paid to the dynamics of global defence spending in the context of geopolitical challenges and the technological transformation of modern warfare.
