The Ministry of Defence has officially put into operation the “Budget” information system within the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The decision was approved by Order № 811.

This was reported by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.

The system consolidates key data on the planning and use of financial resources within the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces in a secure digital environment. It promptly shows how much funding the military has been allocated, how much has been used, and how much remains. This makes it possible to quickly detect delays, adjust plans, and respond to inefficient use of resources.

What the “Budget” system changes for the Armed Forces of Ukraine:

  • Speed. The General Staff and other military command authorities no longer have to wait for quarterly reports — data on the use of funds in units is available online as of the previous day.

  • Transparency. The command sees the full picture of expenses and their dynamics across all subordinate units.

  • Significantly less manual work and fewer delays that previously complicated planning.

The system ensures expenditure planning for all budget managers — from departments to military units.

“Now information on the use of budget funds in the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces is always up-to-date and collected in one place. No waiting for quarterly reports, no delays or ‘blind spots’ — everything is timely and transparent. We are creating a modern core for managing defence resources, and the ‘Budget’ system is its key financial component”, — emphasized Ukrainian Minister of Defence Denys Shmyhal.

“A single consolidated operational report, which previously required about 800 man-hours, is prepared three times faster in the ‘Budget’ system. This is not just a time saving — it provides the ability to make decisions more quickly and manage resources more efficiently”, — noted Oksana Ferchuk, Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine for Digital Development, Digital Transformations and Digitalization.

All commands and the State Special Transport Service have been using the “Budget” system since early 2025. It is now being implemented in military units — and more than 60% of budget managers are already using it.

The “Budget” system is built on SAP components — data-driven resource management software used by more than 90% of NATO armies.

The information system has passed all technical, security, and documentation checks required by the Ministry of Defence’s regulatory standards for the lifecycle of information and communication systems.
