The international partners have provided Ukraine with $17.5 billion since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
“In total, our international partners have provided Ukraine with $17.5 billion since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. We are grateful to everyone for this assistance, which allows us to ensure the economic stability of our state. At the same time, such economic stability is the basis for winning the war and liberating our territories from the invaders. We did not start this war, but we will definitely end it with Ukraine’s victory,” Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said at the Government’s meeting.
He informed that a visit of representatives of the Ukrainian government to Germany was planned to discuss macro-financial assistance and increase in arms supplies.
“Ahead of this visit, we have good signals from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz regarding Germany’s readiness to develop air defense and artillery for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Currently, Germany is among five major countries and institutions in terms of financial support provided to Ukraine,” Shmyhal noted.
According to him, the government also expects the German leadership to continue taking the lead in providing Ukraine with the next tranche of EU’s macro-financial assistance worth 9 billion euros as soon as possible.
“Ukraine has already received 1 billion euros, and we hope and expect that the next 8 billion euros will be provided in the coming months,” the Prime Minister noted. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
