Ukraine is increasing defense and security spending by UAH 1.56 trillion ($34.6 billion), bringing total 2026 security and defense expenditures to a record UAH 4.4 trillion ($97.6 billion), Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said.
Svyrydenko thanked members of parliament for supporting amendments to the 2026 state budget, saying the decision would allow Kyiv to allocate additional resources to finance the Defense Forces and protect civilians.
Following the amendments, total security and defense expenditures will amount to UAH 4.4 trillion ($97.6 billion). Of this, UAH 2.3 trillion ($51 billion) will be allocated for the purchase of weapons and military equipment, while more than UAH 1.45 trillion ($32.2 billion) will go toward financial support for military personnel.
