Around 20 billion UAH has been allocated for Ukraine's Defense Forces on the initiative of the "Servant of the People" party, stated its leader Shulyak.

The "Servant of the People" party has allocated over 400 million UAH from its budget to the Defense Forces.
По инициативе депутатов "Слуги Народа" на Силы обороны Украины выделено около 20 млрд грн, сообщил глава партии Шуляк.

Approximately 20 billion UAH from local budgets of various levels have been allocated to support the Defense Forces at the initiative of the deputies of the "Servant of the People" party across Ukraine. This figure was announced by the head of the political force and people's deputy Elena Shuliak, as reported by "Vedomosti".

"Each faction of the 'Servant of the People' party is working to ensure that appropriate funds are allocated from local budgets to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Recently, we conducted a calculation, according to which the Defense Forces received about 20 billion UAH at the initiative of the 'Servant of the People' from regional, city, district, village, and settlement councils. Because victory is the primary goal. Everything else will have value after the war is over," the MP stated in an interview with "RBK-Ukraine".

Elena Shuliak also adds that "Servant of the People" is the only political force that has allocated a significant portion of its party budget funding to support the Defense Forces – nearly 450 million UAH, which were used to purchase, among other things, domestic anti-tank missile systems "Stugna-P" and 2000 Ukrainian electronic warfare systems.

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly emphasized that there is only one political party that can win – it is the People of Ukraine. There is no political force that could independently defeat the enemy. 'Servant of the People' operates on this logic and directs maximum efforts to support the Ukrainian military. At the beginning of the war, the party immediately reassessed its priorities, allowing it to save funds from state party financing and, at my initiative, direct them to the Defense Forces," Elena Shuliak noted at the time.

According to her, several hundred party members and representatives of the political force from all over the country are currently defending Ukraine in the ranks of the Defense Forces. "Unfortunately, we have lost some members of our team, and there are those who are in captivity," the party leader emphasized.
