| Ukraine spending $100 million a day on conflict – defense minister |
| 2023-09-05 |
| Kiev has been spending around $100 million a day on the conflict with Russia, the outgoing Ukraine Defense Minister Aleksey Reznikov has said. The official made the remarks in an interview with state-run media outlet Ukrinform, published on Monday, in which he rejected corruption allegations and defended the ministry’s procurement policies during his tenure. Reznikov also dismissed the claims that the country’s military has been largely supplied by volunteers and crowdfunding, stating such take was simply "unfair," given that the government has been spending some $100 million daily on the conflict. "I know all the budgets spent on supplies for the army — those provided by volunteers and officially by the state. I can tell you that supplies from volunteers from February 24, 2022 to date are 3% of everything that went to the war," Reznikov stated. |
