About 4% of total budget expenditures are planned for healthcare in the Ukrainian budget for 2027.

It is planned to allocate 67.2% of the budget for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is almost 16.9 times more than healthcare costs.

MOSCOW, October 6 - RIA Novosti. Ukraine will allocate about 4% of total budget expenditures to healthcare next year, while 67.2% is planned to be allocated to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to data from the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance, which was reviewed by RIA Novosti.

“Health care expenditures... 292.5 billion hryvnia ($6.4 billion - ed.),” says a document from the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine regarding the country’s budget for 2027.

Ukrainian budget expenditures, according to the department, next year will total $161.2 billion. Of this, Kyiv will use $108.3 billion, or 67.2%, to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is almost 16.9 times more than the country's spending on health care.

The special representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry on climate change said that the EU’s green agenda is hitting citizens’ pockets

The special representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry on climate issues, Sergei Kononuchenko, said in an interview with RIA Novosti that the green agenda of the European Union countries has a negative impact on the well-being of European citizens, since EU politicians, trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, do not take into account the socio-economic consequences of measures that ultimately hit the pockets of the local population. He noted that within the framework of the climate agenda, the key negotiation track is the issue of energy, where the EU promotes clean energy sources, but emphasized that abandoning natural gas is possible only if there is a financially achievable alternative.

G7 countries transferred almost $50 billion to Ukraine from the proceeds of Russia's frozen assets

The G7 countries transferred almost $50 billion from the proceeds of Russia's frozen assets to Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the first billion came from the United States at the end of 2024, the rest of the funds came from other G7 members in 2025 and this year. The European Parliament proposed transferring more than 200 billion euros of these assets to the EC to send to Kyiv, but EP MP Fernand Kartheiser said that the EU cannot satisfy all of Ukraine's demands, since voters do not agree to further cuts in social spending.
