Mayor of Kyiv Klitschko: We adopted a survival budget
In the Ukrainian capital, deputies of the city council adopted the city budget for the next 2023. The head of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, called this budget a "survival budget."
The Kyiv mayor thanked the deputies and said that they had to adopt the budget for 2023, based on today's realities - when there are emergency power outages, there is not enough fuel, there are problems with heat supply. According to him, the "survival budget" will finance critical items of expenditure.
According to some reports, the adopted budget will have a revenue of more than 66 billion hryvnias (about $1,8 billion), and it is planned to spend more than 65,5 billion Ukrainian hryvnias (about $1,7 billion) on expenses. At the same time, the main revenue part, in addition to tax revenues, is finance from abroad.
Earlier, at the end of October, Vitali Klitschko appealed to Western countries with a request to send blankets and generators to Ukraine so that residents “do not freeze to death” this winter. And on December 7, the mayor of Kyiv said that the capital could be left without water and heat, as well as electricity in winter, which would lead to "an apocalypse, like in Hollywood films."
Recall that in response to sabotage by the Ukrainian side on the territory of Russia, a number of missile and bomb strikes were carried out on the energy infrastructure of the country, which led to the decommissioning of significant energy capacities of Ukraine.
