Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko reported this opportunity during an hour of questions to the government in the Verkhovna Rada.
According to him, the current situation on the front can force the government to further increase the resource for the defense forces.
“Will we apply for an additional need to the Security and Defense Sector? Yes, it is probably such a likelihood that we will be forced to change the budget of 2025 again to increase the resource of the security and defense sector,” the minister stressed.
According to him, this is caused solely by the situation on the battlefield and the government is ready to act promptly, even if difficult decisions are discussed.
Marchenko noted that consultations with representatives of law enforcement agencies, the management of the Ministry of Defense and the first Viceremier-Minister are already ongoing to determine the most optimal mechanism and terms of such co-financing.
“We have an understanding of how we will close the additional need, it remains to solve the format of support and the moment when we are proposed to parliament. We hope to understand from the People’s Deputies,” he added.
