Roksolana Pidlasa, who heads the committee, shared on Facebook about the amendments made to the main financial document for voting in the Verkhovna Rada. Among other things, it is proposed to exempt frontline communities from transferring the reverse to the state budget, thereby retaining a total of 593 million UAH for them, adding 128 million UAH to "Ukrzaliznytsia" for track modernization, and allocating 277.1 million UAH to the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for military research.
Additionally, the new version of the budget bill prohibits political parties from purchasing military government bonds, and hospitals are relieved from the obligation to keep funds in treasury accounts, as stated in the committee head's post.
