“The Rada supported the 2026 budget bill as a whole. A total of 257 deputies voted in favor”, - Suspilne reports.
It is noted that the day before, the parliament budget committee recommended adopting the bill.
A number of MPs stated that they would not vote for this project and criticized it, in particular, due to the lack of salary increases for the military and the continued funding of the national TV news marathon.
Meanwhile, Minister of Finance Serhii Marchenko said during his report in the Rada that “the highest-quality work” had been done and that this version of the budget is “harmonious and balanced”.
