“Representatives of the group of creditors of Ukraine and the government of Ukraine held a virtual meeting ... to conclude a memorandum of understanding in order to implement the suspension of debt servicing,” the statement on the US Treasury website says.

It is noted that the postponement of debt payments will allow Kyiv to increase social, medical and economic costs in the context of the Russian special operation being carried out in the country.

Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the European Commission proposed to allocate additional financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of €5 billion.

In July, a group of Ukraine's creditors supported Kyiv's petition to defer public debt servicing from August 1 until the end of 2023.
