Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said Hr 2 billion will be provided for the rebuilding of the eastern regions of Ukraine and UAH 9 billion will be provided to Ukrainians involved in the military operation.
“The total amount of funding provided for the rebuilding of Donbas is Hr 2 billion, and the financing of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the
National Guard, every Ukrainian who is now involved in the
anti-terrorist operation and the fight for Ukraine has been increased by Hr 9 billion,” he said at a press conference in Kyiv on July 31.
Billions will be spent on new types of weapons for the Ukrainian army under a state defense contract, Yatseniuk said.
“The main expenditures will be money payable to people. The second
thing is new types of weapons. I have signed a state defense contract
and we spend billions on new types of weapons under this contract,” he
said.
Another key expenditure is the provision of fuel and lubricants to
the Ukrainian army and the preparation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for
winter, Yatsenyuk said.
“Everything will depend on how the campaign will go, but we allocate these funds too,” he said.
