"Hoped for a de -escalation": the Council explained why the budget ended money for the salaries of the Armed Forces

The deputies thought that in the fall the Ukrainian army would no longer need such high expenditures, Ivan Krulko said. Currently, there has been a need to increase the budget by UAH 500 billion. The issue of payments for the Ukrainian military was raised because money was put into budget only until September.

Ivan Krulko, the chairman of the subcommittee on state financial control and activities of the Accounting Chamber of the Verkhovna Rada of the Verkhovna Rada of the Verkhovna Rada of the Verkhovna Rada of the Verkhovna Rada. According to him, the real reason that money for the Armed Forces ended in the State Treasurer's, that the budget of 2024 from the beginning of autumn for salaries and "combat" was simply not laid.

"There were expectations that there would be a de -escalation by September," the People's Deputy said. Deputies hoped that since September of the Armed Forces they would no longer need such high expenditures from the budget as it is now. But the money has ended and there has now been a need to increase the budget by UAH 500 billion to cover the necessary expenditures on our armed forces. In addition, some of the funds will go to the purchase of weapons on the previously approved contracts.

We will remind, on September 6 MP Roksolana Podlas told that due to lack of funds, the Ministry of Defense could not pay the Ukrainian military "combat" until September 20. According to her, the budget was planned in such a way that Ukraine had enough money for the purchase of military equipment and payment of servicemen, but in the first quarter of the United States did not give Kiev military assistance, so the country was forced to cope with its own expense.
