Details of Budget Fund Distribution
An additional UAH 665.3 million will be allocated for the purchase of fuel for generators in nine frontline regions. Furthermore, UAH 1.8 billion from the reserve fund will be directed by the government for the maintenance and repair of strategically important roads. This decision was made in response to numerous requests from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as these highways are crucial for logistical, sanitary, and humanitarian needs for both military and civilian residents.
Additionally, local budgets of frontline regions will receive UAH 1.6 billion in extra subsidies for the fourth quarter to ensure the functioning of critical sectors.
Support for Business and New Programs for Regions
Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced the continuation of business support programs, including the “Made in Ukraine” program, which will also be active in 2026. The Entrepreneurship Development Fund will receive UAH 18 billion for the “Affordable Loans 5-7-9%” program. The program for partial compensation of the cost of agricultural machinery and equipment will continue, as well as grants for the development of the processing industry.
“We are adapting the components of the ‘Made in Ukraine’ program to meet the needs of frontline businesses. One of these programs is grants for the restoration of processing enterprises damaged by shelling. A maximum of up to UAH 16 million can be obtained,” Svyrydenko reminded.
Since the start of the program this year, 15 applications for grants have already been approved. A separate direction includes funding for the state program of insurance against war risks for enterprises in frontline regions, which is extremely relevant for the industry.
