Kyiv to send another UAH 1 bln to help army in 2024 – Klitschko
Kyiv has prepared a draft budget for the capital for 2024, mayor of the capital Vitali Klitschko has said.
"Despite the fact that the parliament has actually deprived the capital and other cities and towns of the opportunity to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine, taking away their military personal income tax, Kyiv will continue to support our defenders as best it can... In 2024, the capital will send another UAH 1 billion under the Defender of Kyiv program in support of our soldiers, and will also continue to attract help from our partners in order to transfer the most necessary things to the front," Klitschko wrote on the Telegram channel.
According to him, all communities already paid 40% of personal income tax to the state budget, and the capital - 60%.
"Now even more funds will be taken from communities. We are unlikely to see detailed reports from the central government about where exactly they went. But we will continue, in conditions of limited opportunities, to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine and military units that appeal to us," Klitschko emphasized.
