What can you spend the thousand from Zelensky?
The money can be spent on Ukrainian goods and services, such as utility bills, railway tickets, or Ukrainian-made medicines. It can also be spent on Ukrainian books, cultural services, and, of course, on the military or volunteers to buy drones.
As the President explained, the Cabinet of Ministers has to determine all the details and present them to the people.
