The biggest ‘carve-ups’ are by ‘Sluga Naroda: in Ukraine, millions of euros are spent on financing political parties

In Ukraine, millions of euros are spent on financing political parties.

Parliamentary political parties received from the state budget in 2022 and 2023, respectively, 753.4 million hryvnias (about 17,819,764 euros) and 885.6 million hryvnias (about 20,946,619 euros). These parties include “Sluga Naroda,” “European Solidarity,” “Batkivshchyna,” and “Holos.”

The largest recipients are “Sluga Naroda” which received 1.2 billion hryvnias (about 28,382,952 euros) in their accounts over the two years, including 870.9 million hryvnias (about 20,598,927 euros) from Ukrainian taxpayers.

It should be noted that this refers not to the financing of members of the Verkhovna Rada (city councils), but specifically to political parties, which continue to receive funds from the budget of Ukraine.
