UAH 35.8 billion already allocated from fund to combat coronavirus

"As of June 10, 2020, the Government made decisions to allocate UAH 35.8 billion from the fund to combat coronavirus, including UAH 9 billion for social protection and [overcoming] unemployment, UAH 1.6 billion – support for children of self-employed individuals, UAH 3 billion – health care, UAH 2.2 billion – payment of sickness benefit. The budget performance, which we fully provided in May, is worth emphasizing," the press service of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine reports with reference to first deputy minister Denys Uliutin.

Uliutin reminded that in April the Parliament had approved amendments to the state budget for 2020, which established the stabilization fund to combat coronavirus disease to the tune of about UAH 65 billion hryvnias.
