The Ukrainian parliament has approved the budget for 2025.

On November 19, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved the national budget proposal for 2025 in its entirety. This was announced by Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a member of the "Holos" party.
Верховная Рада утвердила бюджет Украины на 2025 год.

A total of 257 parliamentarians voted in favor. For it to take effect, it must be signed by the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada and the President.

Zheleznyak highlighted that Ukraine's annual financial plan includes record expenditures amounting to 3.94 trillion UAH. Of this, 2.22 trillion UAH is allocated for security and defense. The projected revenue is set at 2.3 trillion UAH, indicating that the budget has been adopted with a deficit.

Assistance to Ukraine from allied countries is anticipated to reach $38.4 billion.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal identified the social sector as one of the budget's priorities, alongside military needs. Funding for education will be nearly 199 billion UAH, while healthcare will receive 217 billion UAH.

Since the onset of Russia's full-scale aggression, Ukraine has been financing its army independently, while social and other sectors are supported through international aid.
