In July, President Petro Poroshenko stated that spending on the army amounted to about 70 million UAH per day. “Ukraine spends 70 million hryvnia daily to support the ATO. And our ATO forces began a successful offensive in all directions,” Poroshenko said.
The increase in costs may be caused by the collapse of the hryvnia exchange rate against the dollar.
