According to her, to solve this problem, it will be necessary to make more than one amendment to the state budget, since the needs of the Defense Forces are not fully met by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, due to political disputes, Kyiv was left without an approved resilience plan, under which state finances should be directed to protect against missile strikes, &#8211; added Nina Yuzhanina.<\/p>\n<p> Earlier on the air of &#8220;Pryamoy&#8221;, economic and political expert Pavlo Rozenko reported that the government is directing the resources of the Reserve Fund to programs that are not related to force majeure, in particular <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/hroshi-armii-na-populizm-kudy-znykaiut-miliardy-z-rezervnoho-fondu\/\">, to pay &#8220;Zelensky&#8217;s thousand&#8221; and national cashback<\/a> . Such actions are a violation of the law, since these initiatives should be financed through amendments to the state budget in parliament, he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, the Ukrainian government has prepared <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/uriad-pidhotuvav-zminy-do-derzhbiudzhetu-na-2026-rik-shcho-vidomo\/\">amendments to the State Budget for 2026<\/a> to strengthen the security and defense sector. Additional funding became possible after the approval of a \u20ac90 billion European Union loan for 2026-2027.<\/p>\n<p> Instead, the Eurosolidarity faction is initiating a draft of amendments to the State Budget-26 and an alternative draft of an anti-corruption strategy.
