🕵️📉 The SBU, the Main Intelligence Directorate, and the State Border Guard Service were given double-digit increases in the 2027 budget — but funding is still below actual expenditures for 2025 year
🧮💰In the 2027 draft budget, spending for the SBU is increased by 26% compared to the current 2026 year plan — to 57,4 billion UAH; for military intelligence — by 32%, to 41,4 billion UAH; for the State Border Guard Service — by 14%, to 157 billion UAH. However, these amounts remain lower than the actual expenditures for 2025 year: respectively 71,9 billion, 68,1 billion, and 163 billion UAH, EP noted.
📉⚠️ Thus, the double-digit “plus” appears when compared with the current 2026 plan and does not restore the three agencies even to the nominal level of funding from two years ago. EP notes that to maintain the real volume of funding, expenditures would additionally need to account for inflation; at that level of funding, increases in payments to servicemembers are not included in these calculations.
