Expenditures for the National Academy of Medical Sciences, the Ministry of Energy, and the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine have significantly increased in the 2026 budget. At the same time, expenditures for the State Property Fund, the State Space Agency, and others have been reduced, writes UNN with reference to the analysis of People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak.

DetailsThe top 10 agencies for which expenditures will be increased are as follows:

• National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine (+332.0%)

• Ministry of Energy of Ukraine (+194.6%)

• Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine (+120.2%)

In addition, the largest reduction in expenditures will affect the following structures:

I note that the analysis was carried out on the total expenditures of the general and special funds of the state budget, and the increase in absolute amounts does not indicate the inclusion of additional funds from the general fund

Also, according to him, the factors that influenced both the increase and decrease in the total volume of expenditures of each individual agency require separate analysis.

AdditionThe government registered the draft law “On the State Budget of Ukraine for 2026” in the Verkhovna Rada. Currently, the text of the draft law is not available on the parliament’s website. It is noted that it has been submitted for consideration by the leadership.
