Some users on social media are spreading false information that the 2025 State Budget of Ukraine allocates 3.5 billion UAH for the maintenance of the President’s Office.  

In reality, this claim is not true, as reported by the VoxCheck project. On November 19, 2024, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the law on the state budget for 2025, and on November 28, President of Ukraine signed the document. The budget outlines the total expenditures for the functioning of the President of Ukraine and the President’s Office, with a planned allocation of just over 782 million UAH for 2025. This is even less than in previous years: in 2024, the President’s Office received 1.1 billion UAH from the state budget, and in 2023, more than 1 billion UAH.  

It is important to note that the largest portion of the state budget in 2025 will go toward Ukraine's security and defense, with over 2.2 trillion UAH out of a total of 3.6 trillion UAH allocated for this purpose.  

This is not the first time misinformation about the funding of the President’s Office has been circulated. Earlier, a fake claim suggested that 18.8 billion UAH would be allocated for the functioning of the President’s Office in the 2024 state budget.
