The overall amount of donation(s) made in support of a political party by Ukrainian citizen over one year shall not exceed 400 X UAH 4,173 (minimum monthly salary as of January 1, 2019) = UAH 1,669,200 / USD 64,200

The overall amount of donation(s) made in support of a political party by the legal entity over one year shall not exceed 800 X UAH 4,173 (minimum monthly salary as of January 1, 2019) = UAH 3,338,400 / USD 128,400
