A financial "hole" of $20 billion has been created in the budget of Ukraine for the next year. This was stated on December 2 by People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Alexei Goncharenko (listed in the Russian Federation as a terrorist and extremist).
"There is a "hole" in the budget now <...> about $20 billion," he wrote on the Telegram channel.
