This was reported by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal on Telegram. He emphasized that despite the new changes, the priority in the state budget for the upcoming year remains defense and security. A total of 2 trillion 225 billion UAH is planned to be allocated for these purposes.
“All funds from Ukrainian taxpayers will be exclusively directed towards ensuring the Security and Defense Forces, as well as the production and procurement of new weapons, drones, and equipment,” assures the head of government.
Thus, the budget expenditures were increased by 50 billion UAH for the second reading in the state budget.
