He admitted that now the authorities are taking away colossal funds from the population in order to spend them on the war.
“As long as we do not have active confrontation, we must spend every day rebuilding our army and strengthening our defense. There is no other alternative. Another point is that we are doing this during a terrible economic crisis. We allocate about 86 billion hryvnia for the army. Yes, we are separating it from other industries, but this was done in order to increase the defense capability of our country,” Turchynov said.
