Billions of hryvnias as a part of the state defense order will be sent to get new types of armament for the Ukrainian army, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has said.

“The key article of expenditure is first the allowance and real money
to people. Secondly, this is new types of armament. I’ve signed the
state defense order, under which we’re spending billions of budget funds
on new types of armament,” he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Thursday, July 31.

Yatseniuk said that another article of expenditure is the provision
of the Ukrainian army with fuel and lubricants, including the
preparation for the winter period.

“Everything will depend on how the campaign will go on, but we foresee these funds,” the premier said.
