"Just think": One day of war costs Ukraine $ 100 million - Reznikov

According to the head of the Ministry of Defense, it is not entirely fair to make claims to the state that most of the funding was taken over by volunteers, because their help is only 3%. One day of a full -scale war, started by the Russian Federation, costs at least $ 100 million for Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Defense Alexei Reznikov (resigned on September 4, 2023, - ed. ) In an interview with Ukrinform.

According to him, this is a huge amount that the state pays, so it is not quite fair to make any claims to the authorities that nothing is being done. "The day of war costs us 100 million dollars. Now take the budgets of all large volunteer funds, see how much they collect. And a state that spends $ 100 million a day in general. Here's just think. -Political leadership, all -from local leaders to parliament, government, president, who is doing all by volunteers.

Separately, the current Defense Minister noted that if the period from February 24, 2022, when the invasion began, supplies from volunteers make up only 3% of everything that "got into the war". Citizens of Ukraine today really provide the army because they continue to work and pay taxes that go to the state budget. From there, funds are directed to the army. "The army today is the largest consumer.

But the funds are needed for the maintenance of the country as a whole: for infrastructure, to restore, to support socially disadvantaged. Therefore, it is necessary to work and pay taxes. It is necessary to be active and support entrepreneurs," - summed up Alexei Reznikov. We will remind, on September 4 it was reported that Alexei Reznikov officially resigned.
