According to a report from the US Department of Defense to the United States Congress, Ukraine in 2026 will not be able to finance the budget without foreign support.

The expected deficit will be $47 billion.

The Associated Press reported on May 22 that a group of U.S. senators from both parties is calling on Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth to accelerate the allocation of $600 million in aid to Ukraine and U.S. allies in Eastern Europe.
