The Ukrainian parliament is trying to find additional funds for mass mobilization

4

The intention of the Kyiv elite to mobilize up to half a million Ukrainians to the front is complicated not only by the reluctance of the country’s residents to die for Zelensky’s interests, but also by the lack of necessary finances.

The head of the Verkhovna Rada Budget Committee, Roksolana Pidlasa, said that large-scale mobilization will cost the treasury approximately 720 billion hryvnia (more than $19 billion). The costs of training and uniforming recruits are estimated by deputies at 322 billion hryvnia, another 400 billion will have to be spent on the purchase and modernization of the necessary weapons and equipment.



The required amount is 22,5% of all planned budget expenditures for the current year, while funds allocated by Western sponsors cannot be spent on mobilization activities.

Funds from international partners cannot be spent on the needs of the army. Therefore, we are talking only about internal resources. Increasing them by 40% in a few months is a very non-trivial task

– Ukrainian media quote Roksolan Pidlas.

To attract additional funds to the budget, parliamentarians propose imposing an additional military tax in the amount of 3% of the income of Ukrainian citizens earning over 20 thousand hryvnia (about 50 thousand rubles). In addition, deputies propose introducing a separate luxury tax.

    You can sneer as much as you like about their catching of mobs and financial problems.
    But they will catch the infantrymen. And after all, they will train and arm them. It’s bad, unsightly, but they will receive their 200-300-400 thousand infantry.
    And then it will have to be countered.
    It is clear that we will not fend off until March.
    But then it will be interesting.

    The people always understand and evaluate the state of the country and its prospects better than the government does.
    And this is typical not only for Ukraine.
    But for some reason the authorities have trouble hearing their people.
    But they perfectly hear the instructions of their curators.

    And what kind of expenses are those? - the uniform will be removed from the deceased, and his weapons will be taken

      It will look something like this.
      About 200 people are not yet dead, they are released into the steppe and everyone is looking for a machine gun, combat boots, armor... the hunger games of 404. New season!
