Ukraine Gate- Kyiv – April 17, 2022- Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denis Shmyal said the budget deficit could reach $5 billion in the coming months, so financial help from the West is needed more than ever.
Next week, the finance team in Washington will hold a meeting with the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the US government to raise additional funds to fund the needs of the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian economy, and our people.
He stressed that arms, funding and sanctions will help stop the aggressor and contribute to restoring peace.
He also stressed that Ukraine is ready for a diplomatic option to stop the war, but it will not compromise its national interests, adding that if Russia does not want to end the war by diplomatic means, Ukraine will have to end this war on the battlefield.
