What happened
Ukraine presented a draft 2027 budget totaling 7.27-trillion hryvnias to parliament. Defense spending is projected to reach 4.89-trillion hryvnias, which is 12% higher than the current year. The government stated that Ukraine will require more than $52 billion in international financial aid next year.

Why it matters
The rising cost of the war with Russia has driven up the daily cost of conflict from $116 million in 2022 to $190 million this year. The increased spending requires a larger budget and suggests a growing need for international financial support to cover the gap.
