Rada explained why funds for combat and salaries for the military were not included in the budget.

Deputies did not include money for salaries and the military in the budget

Ivan Krulko, the head of the subcommittee on state financial control and the activities of the Accounting Chamber of the Verkhovna Rada Budget Committee, stated that the deputies expected de-escalation by September and therefore did not include funds for paying salaries and combat for the military. He said this on the air of the TV channel "Kyiv24".

According to him, the situation is difficult now - the military needs money, but there is none in the budget. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the budget by 500 billion UAH to ensure salary payments and the purchase of weapons.
