Political parties that passed the 5% threshold in the last parliamentary elections are eligible to receive funding from the state budget. This rule was introduced back in 2015 to reduce the influence of oligarchs (initially, funding was provided to parties that won more than 2% of the vote).
The infographic by Slovo i Dilo shows how the amount of budgetary spending on party support has changed.
In 2016, UAH 391 million was allocated for this purpose. The largest amounts were allocated to the People's Front and Petro Poroshenko Bloc. Samopomich,Batkivshchyna, and Oleh Lyashko's Radical Party were also financed, while the Opposition Bloc refused to receive public funds.
In 2017, expenditures increased to UAH 442.4 million (+13.1%), of which the largest shares were allocated to the People's Front and the BPP - UAH 113 million and 122 million, respectively.
In 2018, budget expenditures reached UAH 513.7 million (+16.1%), and in 2019, the amount increased to UAH 550 million (+7.1%).
In 2020, funding was reduced to UAH 283.5 million, but the majority of funds were allocated to the Servant of the People party - UAH 140.6 million.
"Holos was suspended due to reporting violations and resumed only in 2024.
In 2022-2023, the volumes fluctuated between UAH 753-797 million, but after the OPFL ban, their funding was stopped.
For 2025, the state budget allocates UAH 890.7 million (+9.7%) to support parties.
According to the Chesno movement, the Servant of the People is to receive the largest amount of state funding - UAH 519.6 million. A little less than 150 million is provided for European Solidarity, and Batkivshchyna, which received more votes in the elections, will receive 98.6 million hryvnias.
On Tuesday, November 19, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the state budget for 2025. In particular, UAH 1.5 billion is allocated for the telethon.
