Financial assistance to Ukraine

The National Bank of Ukraine reported on June 21 that international partners had transferred 7.4 billion dollars to cover the state budget deficit since russia's beginning of the full-scale war against Ukraine.

The total volume of declared financial assistance to Ukraine is 30 billion dollars.

The National Bank says that financing defense and social expenditures and supporting the economy will depend critically on international aid and its timely arrival.

In particular, $5 billion monthly aid is needed to close the budget deficit.

The bank noted that Ukraine continued to service its national debt on time, and the amount of payments for it during the coming year is estimated by the NBU as moderate.

"€1 billion to Ukraine! After a sped-up adoption, the EU will provide the war-stricken state with macro-financial assistance. Money will go to different areas. Czech presidency fulfills its promises, and even more help will follow," the Czech presidency announced on Twitter.
