KIEV, April 17 - Ukraine's state budget revenues amounted to UAH 3.06 billion in the first nine banking days of the month as of April 16, which is UAH 503.6 million less than in the same period in March, First Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Mykola Azarov said.

"State budget revenues have shrunk, which always goes with political tensions. The state budget failed to receive over UAH 500 million in revenues," Azarov told the Verkhovna Rada on Tuesday, reporting on the impact of the crisis on the economy.
