"The security and defense of our country is the main task for the government and the state. In the first 9 months of this year, the general fund of the state budget received over UAH 1.5 trillion. For every hryvnia paid, we are grateful to conscientious taxpayers - citizens and businesses. It is with these funds that the state finances defense. At the same time, over the same period, Ukraine spent more than UAH 2.3 trillion from the general fund of the state budget. About 58% of this amount was spent on the army. Today, the common task of all branches of government is to find additional resources to cover military spending in 2025," Prime Minister Shmyhal wrote on Telegram.
