During the 120 days of the war, the state budget was filled by more than UAH 200 bln from international donors and by UAH 626 bln from domestic sources.
Grants and loans from international partners accounted for 24.2% of Ukraine’s state budget funding since the beginning of the war. This was stated by Yaroslav Zheleznyak, the First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, in his Telegram-channel.

At the same time, it is specified that assistance from international partners will soon increase by another UAH 21 billion, and plans to attract UAH 257.4 billion are planned for June-July.
“So far, we are financing the 120 days of the war mostly with internal resources. The same taxes, duties, state enterprises and the National Bank. The situation, in theory, should change soon, and the item “loans and grants” will be equal to taxes. But so far, the tales that “foreigners pay for us” are just another fake of the populists, “the people’s deputy summed up.
It will be recalled that since the beginning of Russia’s war against Ukraine, international partners have transferred $7.4 billion to cover the state budget deficit, and the total amount of declared financial assistance to Ukraine as of mid-June is $30 billion.
