The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has allocated UAH 792 million for the purchase of ammunition, thermal imagers and drones, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said.

"Another important decision on the agenda concerns the defense of the state, which is priority No. 1 for all of us. We are allocating UAH 792 million from the state budget reserve fund to strengthen defense capabilities," Shmyhal said at the Tuesday government meeting.

These additional funds are distributed by military units to purchase ammunition, thermal imagers and drones.

"We are talking about additional funding for each brigade in proportion to the personal income tax paid in December. We are strengthening our army to effectively counter the enemy, to liberate and protect our lands, for a speedy victory," he said.
