The Cabinet of Ministers has allocated more than UAH 550 billion for Ukraine’s security and defense forces over the first five months of this year, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has reported on Facebook.
“Over the first five months of this year, the government allocated more than UAH 550 billion for the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine. This is 49% of all budget expenditures during this time. We continue to direct all the taxes of citizens and businesses to finance the army in order to ensure our victory,” he said.
He also noted that work was underway to tackle the aftermath of a Russian terrorist attack at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant.
