The Ukrainian budget lacks funds to pay the military salaries through the end of the year, — MP
People’s deputy Vasyl Mokan said on the YouTube channel "Superposition" that the Ukrainian budget already lacks the funds to maintain the current level of payments to service members through the end of the year.
"Right now there are no resources to cover even the existing level of salaries through the end of the year... This problem was laid down back at the end of 2025 — it was clear that in 2026, by midsummer, the question of a shortage of funds for the security and defense forces would arise. And so it happened," he said.
At the same time, although the government previously announced an increase in payments to the military, according to the deputy, service members from various units reported that, in reality, the salary increases never took place.
