Verkhovna Rada Committee Approves Extra ₴1.56 Trillion for Defense

Original version ·

Just in case anyone wondered where the priority lies, a parliamentary committee just greenlit a staggering ₴1.56 trillion top-up for the security and defense budget.

The parliamentary budget committee has just recommended that the Verkhovna Rada pass the upcoming budget changes in full. We are talking about adding an extra 1.56 trillion hryvnias to the security and defense sectors.

To put this into perspective, this is not just some minor adjustment for buying spare parts. This is a massive, structural shift of resources, proving that the state is heavily betting on defense remaining the absolute center of gravity for years to come. The decision is now practically a done deal, waiting only for the final vote in the main hall.

One gets the feeling that the tax office is about to become even more creative with its revenue-seeking methods.
