Yatsenyuk: 113 billion to be spent on national defense

The total funding of the Ukraine’s national security sector will be increased by UAH 16 billion next year.

Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk said this in the program "Ten minutes with Prime Minister. Budget," an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"The largest volume of funds is allocated for national security and defense: for our soldiers who are opposing the Russian military aggression, for our new police, for our National Guard, and all those who defend Ukraine, protect our sovereignty and our territorial integrity. In 2016, the total funding for the national security and defense sector is increased by UAH 16 billion and amounts to UAH 113 billion," Yatsenyuk said.
