Up to 5% of total GDP in Ukraine should be spent on the country's national security and defense, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said.

"Up to 5% of GDP should be funneled into national security, defense, and law-enforcement," Yatseniuk said at a Cabinet meeting when presenting his government's action plan on Tuesday.

The government should draw up the national budget for 2015 with due regard to this figure, he added.
