The negative impact of the full-scale war on the revenues and expenditures of local budgets was established, in particular, the identification of budget deficits, failure to ensure income growth of the Kherson, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions. The percentage value of the performance indicators of local budgets was established. Balance coefficients and volumes of interbudgetary transfers were determined.

The importance of the additional subsidy aimed at equalizing disparities in territorial development and contributing to the stability of local budgets is indicated.
