About 90 members of the Ukrainian parliament, including most commanders and members of the punishing battalions, do not have their own housing in Kiev.

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