As early as 2016, a Government decree No. 710 came out, which determined the spending of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 as the first priority. Now the government has decided to adjust the priority of budget payments to the State Treasury. The draft of such a decision was submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers by the head of the Ministry of Finance Oksana Markarova.

Instead, replenish the list of priority budgetary payments by Chernobyl projects, in particular, such: the transformation of the Shelter object into an environmentally safe zone, and also the decommissioning of the nuclear power plant.
