Zelensky: Ukraine Has Not Yet Closed USD 4B Deficit
“We're facing a bit of a challenge right now-we need about $4 billion. We really need it. So far, we haven't closed this deficit,” Zelensky said.
According to him, the Ministry of Finance knows where to find about $3 billion of the required amount, but no relevant agreements have been reached yet.
The president noted that Ukraine has already found a way to cover most of the previously identified deficit-through bilateral support and agreements with the European Union.
