In the budget for 2025, more than UAH 43 billion has been allocated to the Road Fund

In the draft State Budget for 2025, more than UAH 43 billion is provided for the Road Fund, which caused dissatisfaction due to the inconsistency with promises that all additional excise taxes would be directed to defense. Writes UNN with reference to People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zhelezniak.

Do you remember when excise taxes were raised, they said that “all the money goes to the army”? Well, in the 2025 Budget, UAH 43.2 billion has been allocated to the Road Fund!

The People’s Deputy asked the head of the Budget Committee, Roksolani Pidlasii, why such an amount should be allocated to the Road Fund, to which she replied:

“The issue should definitely be discussed. And this is definitely the Government’s proposal. I do not support the renewal of the road fund in 2025. All excise taxes should be directed to defense needs.”

We will remind

The Verkhovna Rada has begun consideration of the draft State Budget for 2025. After the hearing, the deputies will be given time until October 1 to submit proposals to the document.
