About 4.4bn dollars is spent on the maintenance of the Ukrainian army each month.
Before the Russian special operation, about 5.3bn dollars was spent on this annually, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said.
“If we had about 156bn hryvnyas (5.3bn dollars – ed.) to maintain the army, this was the budget of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ukrainian army for a year, today about 130bn (4.4bn dollars – ed.) is a monthly sum,” the LB.ua website quoted Shmyhal as saying.
