The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine held a plenary session today that garnered the attention of the European Commission, which thanked the parliament for the transparency of its broadcasts. Members of parliament discussed various aspects of the state budget for 2025, with significant attention given to social payments for defenders of Ukraine and increasing economic activity by raising minimum standards. During the discussions, concerns were raised regarding the inadequate support for internally displaced persons and the unsatisfactory salary levels for military personnel, medical staff, and teachers. Lawmakers urged the government to consider these issues when refining the budget, as they directly impact millions of Ukrainians facing difficulties due to the war. Participants noted that the budget requires revision, as most proposals and amendments have gone unheeded. The session also featured a poignant moment honoring fallen defenders, which added an emotional highlight to the discussions.
