Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko expressed surprise at the fact that the Ukrainian military still buys necessary things at their own expense or receives what they need from volunteers.

Every day the state spends 5 billion UAH on the security and defense sector. This money is allocated every day of the war. There are enough weapons and equipment in the warehouses. Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko stated this during the Business Breakfast stream hosted by Forbes.
It’s hard for me to comment on things that I myself don’t understand. “I myself don’t understand why we still provide military personnel,” the official said.
According to him, “no other non-governmental public organizations come close to the state’s capabilities to support the Armed Forces.”
Let us remind you that Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko said that Ukraine’s budget is depleted, so the Ministry of Finance expects proposals from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to cover the costs of additional mobilization of 500 thousand people. At the same time, the official considers the previously announced funding volumes to be “quite correct” – UAH 500 billion in the case of conscription of 500 thousand people into the army.
