About 90 members of the Ukrainian parliament, including most commanders and members of the punishing battalions, do not have their own housing in Kiev. They stay at the government’s expense at the four-star Kiev Hotel in the center of the capital. The rooms at the hotel cost the Ukrainian budget 1,500 hryvnia (about $90) daily.

Despite the budget deficit, the Ukrainian treasury will have to spend 1 million hryvnia monthly for the accommodation of deputies without housing in Kiev.
