This is the best summary I could come up with:


The funds would be used to buy drones, implement new technology and boost the domestic defence industry, Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko said.

"We need to create the conditions to turn the course of the military campaign," Marchenko told a round table discussion on the legislation ahead of the vote.

Ukraine launched a counteroffensive in June to try to recapture territories occupied by Russia but five months into the operation the effort is yet to yield a breakthrough.

In recent months the government focused on increasing domestic weapons production and is also scrambling for any additional sources of revenue to channel funds to the army.

Marchenko said the government was spending five billion hryvnias ($138 million) a day to fund its war effort.

Diverting funds from regional budgets could boost Ukraine's efforts to narrow the gap between its own military capabilities and those of its much larger, nuclear-armed neighbour.
