Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said today that the air force operation in Syria does not represent a burden on the Russian budget.

Medvedev said at a press conference in Moscow that by launching the air operation on September 30, the Russian Ministry of Defense did not spend more money than the planned amount of the budget.

He pointed out that the Russian army did not ask the government to provide additional financial resources for the campaign in Syria.

AP states that the Russian economy is going through a difficult period due to the economic sanctions imposed on the country by the West, as well as due to the low price of oil.
