Spending on Ukraine's participation in the international peacekeeping operation in Kosovo is to be financed from the state budget, parliament has decided.

A total of 333 MPs out of the 400 registered in the parliament's session hall on Thursday voted for a respective law introducing amendments to the law on the approval of a presidential decree to contribute a Ukrainian peacekeeping contingent to the international peacekeeping operation in Kosovo.

The Verkhovna Rada expanded the previously adopted law with a provision, according to which the costs related to Ukraine's participation in the international peacekeeping operation in Kosovo would be funded from the state budget.
