amendments to the state budget to increase army financing at an

unscheduled meeting on July 31 and if not, he promised to allocate the

funds without a relevant bill.

“If deputies do not vote for the bills, I will do everything to

finance the army and to fill up tanks, whatever prosecutor tells me

afterwards, I will do this even without a bill, no other option exists, I

will sign the resolution,” Yatsenyuk said on air of the Svoboda Slova

(Freedom of Speech) program at the ICTV on July 27.
