I spoke with a large construction company that, after the government stopped capital expenditures, promised not to suspend work despite already having debt of several billion and accumulating more. I asked them: “What are you counting on? Working capital isn't elastic…”

Their answer: “Well, they’ll pay in December… There have been some interruptions before.”

To be honest, I was a bit stunned. Yes, there have been interruptions. But there has never been such a f***-up in the state budget. For the 2026 year international financing in the amount of $50,8 billion was expected. But because of delays in meeting the requirements for adopting EU integration and anti-corruption laws, Ukraine received only about $21 billion. In other words, most of the funding planned in the budget still hasn't arrived.

And the authorities are doing nothing, parliamentarians have basically fled the session hall to avoid passing laws.

In short, thanks to “Spending” I recorded a historic moment. And I made a table of the firms that managed to receive the latest millions.

Говорив з крупною будівельною фірмою, яка після припинення капітальних видатків від уряду пообіцяла не припиняти роботи попри вже наявний борг в кілька мільярдів і накопичення нового. Спитав у них: «А на що ви розраховуєте? Бо оборотка ж не резінова...»

Відповідь: «Ну що в грудні заплатять таки… Певні перерви і раніше бували».

Я, чесно кажучи, трохи отетерів. Да, перерви бували. Але ніколи не бувало такого пі*дєца в держбюджеті. Н а 2026 рік було передбачено отримати міжнародного фінансування в обсязі $50,8 млрд. Але через затримки із виконанням вимог по прийняттю євроінеграційних і антикорупційних законів Україна отримала лише близько $21 млрд. Тобто, більша частина передбаченого у бюджеті фінансування досі не надійшла.

А влада ні кує ні меле, нардепи взагалі розбіглись з сесійної зали, щоб не приймати законів.

В общім, я зафіксував завдяки «Spending» історичний момент. І зробив табличку фірм, яким вдалось отримати останні мільйони.

Ministry of Defense buyers finally managed to contract body armor worth 1,3 billion UAH. But they only managed to do so after raising the procurement price from $400 per “Korsar” (that’s what they were buying in the first half of the year) to $500. This is a very sharp increase of 20%, and other large purchasers of industrial goods did not see such price increases in dollar terms across the board. In this case it is obvious that the new price level was demanded by market participants. When “AOZ”...

The city of Ternivka in Dnipropetrovsk region ordered the construction of gas mini-boiler houses for winter preparation for 440 million UAH. But they didn't hurry — they ordered them for the next winter, in 2028. They'll have to get by somehow this winter, by whatever God provides. Oh, and yes. Citing a Cabinet resolution that allows closed-mode tenders for items related to winter preparation, ProZorro did not publish any procurement details. It's unknown what boiler houses are being purchased,...

The servants of Arazhamia-Zelensky last week suspended voting in the Rada until mid-October. And so they will no longer pass by the end of September a very painless law, to which the Europeans have tied 20 billions(!) of hryvnias of aid to all Ukrainians. Because the title of that law contains the words “anti-corruption strategy”… Once again. This is merely a law that says we will someday adopt real anti-corruption laws. Someday. Some. But even raising a hand to adopt this framework was too much...

The Ministry of Justice hired foreign lawyers to sue two companies from Poland and Slovenia over the breach of defense contracts concluded at the start of the invasion. It is known that from the Slovenian firm MarktPro d.o.o. Ukrainian servicemembers are seeking 4,5 million euros.
