Headquarters decision: Each brigade will receive UAH 7 million per combat battalion

Brigades will receive UAH 7 million for each battalion operating on the front line.

“We are significantly increasing funding for combat units. Following a meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, a decision was made to increase the volume of direct funding for brigades for procurement. This will give combat units more opportunities to independently meet their needs,” said Denys Shmyhal, Minister of Defence of Ukraine. 

Funding will increase in proportion to the number of battalions performing combat missions. For each brigade, this means tens of millions of hryvnias in additional funding.

Thus, under the instruction of the President, each brigade will now receive UAH 7 million for every battalion operating on the front line. According to Denys Shmyhal, this means more drones and other necessary equipment.

“In implementation of the Headquarters’ decision, the Ministry of Defence held an urgent meeting of the budget commission, during which funds were reallocated to increase financing for battalions currently operating on the front line. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is compiling the list of such units. The task is to transfer the funds as quickly as possible,” emphasized the Minister of Defence.
