(Bloomberg) -- President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Ukraine’s cabinet to allocate government funding for every Ukrainian to receive 1,000 hryvnia ($24.20) by Dec. 1, to be spent on domestically-produced goods or services.
“I instructed the government to implement a new program which will affect every family,” Zelenskiy said in his daily video address.
Ukraine’s parliament this month backed a tax increase to cover rising defense needs.
