Kyiv announces decisive action. The city increases funding for defense and security forces by an astronomical 3 billion hryvnias! Kyiv City Council must approve changes to the “Defender of Kyiv” program on January 14.
Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko speaks without embellishment - we are talking about specific numbers, specific decisions. We will allocate a subvention to support military units! These are not just words - these are material and technical resources for our defenders.
This money will not be scattered in the air. It will go to drones, electronic warfare systems, equipment, all the necessary equipment. Kyiv does not stop - in 2025 it has already sent more than 12 billion hryvnias to help the military, veterans and their families. In 2024 - almost 10 billion. This is not help for a tick, this is real support!
Kyiv Military Hub doesn't just work, it really works! Military personnel and veterans receive real support: documents, training, employment - a desire to act against the irresponsibility of the system!
And that's not all! At the request of veterans, the city is introducing new services: compensation for the conversion of cars and housing for people with disabilities, compensation for vacations, correspondence studies at universities. Independence keeps pace with reality!
And from January 1, 2026, at the initiative of the mayor, Kyiv launched personalized medical support for veterans. These are not just declarations - these are actions that speak of our true commitment to protecting those who protect us.
After all this, we can only do one thing - continue to fight for our future. Every step is important. Every hryvnia, every reform is our path to true independence!
