Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman called for the doubling of the defense budget of the country.
He said this, speaking in Parliament during hour of questions to the government.
“Today we have 130 billion budget of the Ukrainian troops, our security and defense. But I believe that the best applause is the doubling of the defense budget of our country,” he said.
Groysman stressed that this can be done only when there is significant economic growth.
We will remind, the state budget for 2017 provides increased funding of the defense Ministry compared to 2016 8.5% to 64.5 billion.
