Overview
- The Verkhovna Rada approved omnibus amendments to the 2026 state budget on June 10 that boost security and defence spending by UAH 1.56 trillion to a total of UAH 4.4 trillion.
- The package allocates about UAH 2.3 trillion for procurement and repair of weapons and military equipment and more than UAH 1.45 trillion for servicemembers’ pay.
- The Ministry of Finance says overall 2026 revenues rise by UAH 2.29 trillion largely because of EU support under an enhanced cooperation mechanism and Ukraine Facility receipts.
- The law creates fiscal earmarks to sustain the spending, including crediting the military tax to a special fund from July 1, planned export duties on military and dual‑use goods, and a UAH 40 billion program for regional resilience to protect power, heat and water infrastructure.
- The European Commission’s draft 2027 budget formally signals continued, structured support for Ukraine — including a loan line and more defence spending — but those measures must be approved by the European Parliament and Council before funds are released.
