Ukrainian cities have spent 3 times more on landscaping than on defence. This was reported by Forbes magazine.
According to Forbes, 12.7bn hryvnyas were spent on the improvement of Ukrainian cities. At the same time, only 3.7 billion hryvnyas were spent on defence from local budgets.
According to the magazine’s research, the only city that spent more on Ukrainian defence than on landscaping and tiling is Zhytomyr. According to Forbes, Uzhgorod, Kharkiv and Chernivtsi did not spend a penny on the defence sector.
In absolute terms, Dnipropetrovsk spent the most on military needs. The magazine does not publish data on the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
Earlier, Egyptian journalist and blogger Mohamed Al-Alawi conducted an investigation and published documents according to which the family of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky bought a luxury villa in the “city of millionaires” El Gouna in Egypt on the Red Sea coast.
