On November 28, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky signed into the law the state budget for 2025. The financial plan is marked by the record spending on defense, according to prime minster Denys Shmyhal.

“We are allocating 2.23 trillion hryvnias for security and defense, including funding for weapons procurement, drone production, and military equipment,” Shmyhal wrote on Telegram. Key expenditures will include 420.9 billion hrynvias for social welfare, 217 billion hryvnias for healthcare, and 199 billion hryvnias for education.

The budget outlines 3.6 trillion hryvnias in spending and 2.05 trillion hryvnias in revenues for 2025, reflecting the nation’s ongoing resilience amid wartime challenges.

Shmyhal expressed confidence in Ukraine’s ability to navigate the next financial year, arguing his team has ‘clear understanding”. He also credited strong coordination across government branches and unwavering support from international partners.

Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.

Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
