The Ukrainian government has spent 2.98 trillion hryvnias in the first three quarters of 2024, with nearly 65% allocated to security and defense. However, defense spending was 7.3% below the planned budget due to incomplete procurement processes. The finding were revealed by Ukraine’s Audit Chamber on Wednesday.
To meet annual targets, an additional 737 billion hryvnias must be spent by year-end, posing a budgetary strain and increasing debt risks. Social protection and subsidies spending were also under budget by 20% and 21.9%, respectively.

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.
