Funds for the additional financing of the Interior Ministry in the amount of UAH 3 billion should come from funds confiscated from the entourage of disgraced former ex-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has stated.

"On the part of the government we need to continue financing the reform of the National Police, the Armed Forces, and in general every reform from the health care sector to education. The Interior Minister appealed to the government saying it is necessary to increase funding for the National Police by UAH 3 billion to complete the reform," Yatseniuk said during the swearing of the police in Boryspil.

According to him, the government has found a source of financing – the confiscated funds arrested a year ago of officials under former president Yanukovych.

"We expect the parliament to adopt the necessary legislation, the judicial and law enforcement systems not to just arrest the funds as we have already done, but also confiscate the money, transfer it to the budget and use for national security and defense, and additional financing for the National Police," the prime minister said.
