Ukraine runs out of money to pay its military — Rada committee

 The Ukrainian Defense Ministry will not be able to pay military personnel for taking part in combat operations by the September 20 deadline unless the law on budget amendments, which includes tax increases, is passed, said Verkhovna Rada Budget Committee Chairwoman Roksolana Pidlasa during a Ukrainian telethon.

"Unfortunately, this is true. Indeed, the Defense Ministry is telling us that they don't have the money to pay by September 20. However, we will vote to modify the state budget by September 20. I cannot now name the date of the Verkhovna Rada meeting, but we expect this vote around September 17-18," she said.
