According to the Ministry of Finance, in January-October 2025, general fund expenditures reached UAH 3.16 trillion, exceeding the figure for the same period last year by UAH 507.2 billion, or 19.1%.

A month earlier, UAH 210.8 billion was allocated to security and defense, with total general fund expenditures of UAH 312.6 billion, indicating continued growth in monthly defense payments.
At the same time, for the sixth time in a row, the Ministry of Finance does not disclose more detailed items of military expenditures in its operational report – data on payments of monetary support to military personnel, purchases of military equipment, weapons, ammunition, and defense products, as well as separate transfers to the National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU), the Pension Fund, and the Entrepreneurship Development Fund.
At the same time, according to Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko, speaking in the Verkhovna Rada on September 19, the monthly level of monetary support for the military in 2025 will increase significantly. “January – UAH 78.8 billion, February – UAH 86 billion, March – UAH 86 billion, April – UAH 91 billion, May – UAH 97 billion, and August also UAH 98 billion,” the minister said.
In October 2024, the Ministry of Finance reported the payment of UAH 86 billion in monetary support, which allows us to assess the scale of growth in military payments against the backdrop of the ongoing full-scale war.
Prices for RAM in Europe and the US have risen significantly, negatively affecting the electronics and computer market. In Ukraine and neighboring countries, this trend is already beginning to take effect, although there is little accurate domestic data available yet.
According to Reuters, Samsung Electronics raised its contract prices for 64 GB and 96 GB DDR5 modules by more than 30% between September and November 2025.
Analysts at Counterpoint Technology Market Research note that global prices for some DRAM chips have risen 3-11 times since the beginning of 2025.
The GameGPU portal reports that in Europe, a 64 GB DDR5 kit sells for around €550, which is significantly higher than the usual level.
TrendForce predicts that memory prices could rise another 30% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and another 20% in early 2026.
There are no accurate statistics for Ukraine at the time of publication, but retailers and dealers note that prices for 64 GB DDR5 kits have risen by tens of percent in recent months.
The increase in memory costs leads to higher prices for computers, laptops, game consoles, and servers. There is already information that manufacturers and sellers in the EU are preparing significant price adjustments for models with high memory capacities.
