Councillors have decided how hundreds of millions of pounds will be spent on services like education, and projects including a new leisure centre in Carmarthenshire.
They set the revenue and capital budgets for 2022-23 after debates marked by fierce exchanges about council tax rises and the pace of delivery of some high-profile projects.
The budget-setting came after council leader Emlyn Dole spoke of "truly heart-breaking" images in Ukraine but also "scenes of generosity and unity" in response to the crisis by people in Carmarthenshire. The authority, he said, would play its part in welcoming people seeking sanctuary.
