Ukraine's total budget is equivalent to approximately 3,600 billion hryvnia – around 950 billion kronor, according to the Ukrainian Finance Ministry's calculations.

This budget clearly defines our priorities: defense, security, support to the people, development, and reconstruction of the country, taking into account our limited resources. It is what makes us stronger and leads to victory, said Sjmyhal in connection with the parliamentary vote, radan.

The budget must be approved by President Volodymyr Zelenskyj before it becomes law.
