The Rada received a record 5236 amendments to the draft state budget for 2027.
Members of the Verkhovna Rada submitted a total of 5236 amendments to the draft state budget for 2027. This is a record number of proposed changes to the budget draft in the past 24 years, but two-thirds of them are “legislative spam.” This was reported by the chair of the Rada’s budget committee, Roksolana Pidlasa.
She noted that the number of amendments is 1,5 times higher than last year, and it is a record for at least 24 years (statistics have generally been kept since the 2003 budget).
“Two-thirds of these amendments are so‑called ‘legislative spam,’ submitted so that people can speak for hours in the session hall or to demand consideration of preferred amendments,” Pidlasa commented on the content of the initiatives.
She added that if you spend at least 90 seconds on each amendment, their consideration will take more than 16 full working days.
“There needs to be common sense. Alongside the budget, the Rada must also vote on other laws that are critical for obtaining international financing,” the deputy added.
Recall that on 15 September the government approved the draft law on the state budget for 2027 and sent it to the Verkhovna Rada. The document prepared by the Cabinet foresees a significant increase in tax revenues—by 11% compared to the current budget for 2026. At the same time, part of the planned revenues will require amendments to the Tax Code.
It also provides for expenditures of over 8 trillion UAH—four times more than before the full‑scale invasion. In particular, the state’s own resources will amount to 3,7 trillion UAH. These are taxes and fees, domestic borrowings (government bonds), and privatization. Another $52,6 billion is expected to be covered by international assistance. However, partners have confirmed $20 billion, so an additional $32,6 billion still needs to be found.
