From this money, about UAH 420 billion was spent on the defense and security of Ukraine.



Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced this at a government meeting.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion, state budget expenditures have amounted to almost UAH 1 trillion. Of these, more than UAH 420 billion was spent on the defense and security of our country,” Shmyhal said.

Shmyhal also added that more than 40% of all that Ukraine spent from the state budget was on the needs of the army: UAH 288 billion for military salaries, UAH 135 billion for the purchase and repair of military equipment, and the purchase of ammunition and defense products.

Today, Ukrainians are more conscious than ever. Ukrainian businesses and Ukrainian citizens, despite the difficulties, pay taxes because they know that this is how they help the army and our military. Other state expenses are financed through the assistance of our international allies and borrowings through war bonds," Shmyhal stressed.

The head of government stressed that Ukrainians have been fighting for their history, land, freedom, children, and future for many generations.
