Member of Parliament from the Servant of the People faction, chairman of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax and customs policy Danylo Hetmantsev announced this on the Telegram channel, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"UAH 6.5 billion. So much Ukraine will lose in revenues from customs as a result of border blocking in March. This is one and a half brigades fully equipped with everything. Let me remind you that in the past this figure was UAH 7 billion," he wrote.

“The average cost of 155mm artillery rounds can vary depending on the type of shell. Standard 155mm shells, like the L15 shells, cost around 3.3 thousand euros per round[2][5]. However, guided shells such as the M982 Excalibur are significantly more expensive, with estimates exceeding 100 thousand US dollars per shell[1][4]. The escalating prices of artillery ammunition are influenced by factors such as increased demand due to conflicts like the Russian invasion of Ukraine and rising material costs[2][5]. Overall, the average cost hovers around 3.3 thousand euros for standard 155mm shells but can be substantially higher for guided variants.”
