“Ukraine will continue to need serious financial support.
We are talking about an amount of more than $ 55 billion in 2023, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to the politician, this amount also includes funds for reconstruction projects and $35 billion a month to cover the budget deficit.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky earlier addressed international partners during a speech at a conference of the World Bank and the IMF with a request to provide loans to the country for the restoration of energy infrastructure, as well as the purchase of gas and coal.
Last week, the IMF Executive Board decided to provide Ukraine with $1.3 billion in financial support.
The funds were directed to "meet all the needs related to the financing of the balance of payments" of Ukraine.
