Defense Budget 2027: Ukraine Surpasses France with 97 Billion Euros, but Remains Funded by Allies

The Ukrainian Parliament is reviewing a defense budget of 97 billion euros for 2027, surpassing France's 64 billion euros. This budget accounts for nearly two-thirds of Ukraine's public spending, with an international aid requirement estimated at over 45 billion euros. Tensions with Western allies persist, particularly after Volodymyr Zelensky criticized their support as insufficient in light of Russian operations.
