President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has ordered the allocation of additional financial resources to strengthen the military capabilities of Ukrainian combat units. The funding increase, amounting to UAH 7 million per brigade per battalion, was confirmed during a meeting held at the Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s Headquarters on Monday, August 11. This directive follows a series of instructions given by the president last week, which focused on enhancing military preparedness and operational readiness.
The decision underscores the Ukrainian government’s commitment to addressing security challenges. Officials were instructed to expedite the distribution of funds and ensure that resources are utilized effectively to support frontline units. The increased funding is expected to contribute to the modernization of military equipment and the improvement of operational logistics. Zelenskyy’s emphasis on financial support highlights the strategic importance of maintaining a strong defense posture in the face of ongoing regional tensions.
Government sources confirmed that the allocation of UAH 7 million per brigade per battalion is part of a broader effort to sustain military operations and ensure the readiness of combat units. The directive aligns with recent announcements regarding the expansion of military infrastructure and the development of new defense strategies. As Ukraine continues to face complex security challenges, the additional financial support is seen as a critical step in reinforcing national defense capabilities.
