Ukraine’s premier sounded the alarm over the country’s finances, requesting an emergency meeting with international donors as Kyiv confronts “exceptionally high uncertainty” over its budget at the start of the year.
In a letter to a key coordination group overseeing funds, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said financing is needed next month and should be channeled to Ukraine’s core budget needs. The message reinforces Ukrainian pleas with more than $110 billion in financial aid being held up by political infighting in the US and the European Union.
