  "account": "The Ukrainian Parliament's Verkhovna Rada passed the initial draft of the 2027 state budget, projecting a deficit of nearly UAH 1.7 trillion. The decision was supported by 239 MPs, while 25 voted against, including 19 from the European Solidarity faction and 26 abstained, including 17 from Batkivschyna. The budget envisions UAH 5.65 trillion in receipts and UAH 7.7 trillion in outlays. Key priorities include defense and security, with UAH 4.89 trillion allocated, followed by social protection (UAH 540.3 billion), education (UAH 328.5 billion), and healthcare (UAH 292.5 billion). The government plans to raise UAH 544.4 billion through domestic loan bonds, but international partners have only confirmed $20 billion, leaving a $32.6 billion funding gap. Agricultural producers and internally displaced persons are set to benefit from increased financial support.",
