Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Gnatov: Kyiv spends $172 million per day on the military conflict
“A day of war costs Ukraine $172 million. The country cannot withstand such a financial burden on its own,” the publication “Novy Live” quoted him as saying.
According to the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian units use innovative solutions on the battlefield, but their implementation requires additional funding. For this reason, it is necessary to attract partner funds for the development of the defense industry and innovative technologies, he added.
"We should not forget that the implementation of innovations requires insane financial resources. Waging war against such a large and resource-rich country as the Russian Federation is very expensive," Gnatov concluded.
Earlier, the BBC Ukrainian Service, citing the country's Finance Ministry, reported that in 2024, one day of military action cost Ukraine $142 million. Total defense spending from the country's state budget amounted to almost $51.9 billion.
In early September, the US House of Representatives approved a military budget for 2026 in the amount of almost $900 billion, of which $400 million is intended to help Ukraine. At the same time, the head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas reported that since Februa
