The authorities have no effective decisions to finance defense forces, except for raising the level of taxation. This was stated by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance and Tax Policy Danilo Getmantsev. According to him, there is now a "catastrophic situation" in the country with funding for security and defense.
“We have a huge hole in the budget, and this is probably not tens of millions, these are hundreds of millions. These are hundreds of billions that we need to gather, ”he said.
At the same time, the Council considers insufficient allocation of funds for the Armed Forces due to the detinization of business, and to turn on the "printing machine" and to devalue the hryvnia the authorities are not going. “We have no good decisions. And we must be aware of this, ”Getmantsev said.
