A significant portion of the increase in general fund revenue for the state budget in January–March 2026 is attributable to international aid in the form of grants totaling 173.1 billion UAH, the Ministry of Finance reported.
However, in March, the volume of grants fell to 8.8 billion UAH after 62.9 billion UAH in February and 101.4 billion UAH in January, whereas in March of last year, grants amounted to 97.8 billion UAH. Against the backdrop of lower grants, general fund revenues in March fell by 16.6% to 267.7 billion hryvnia, although total budget revenues for the month rose by 0.9% to 392.6 billion hryvnia.
