Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Rybak has said that the parliament may fail to pass the draft national budget for 2014 by the end of the year.

"The budget is 95-97% ready in the government, it has been written in detail… We have not much time for the consideration of the budget for 2014… I don't rule out the possibility that the first month of 2013 will be funded according to [the figures for] the first month of 2013," he said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.
