The Verkhovna Rada reported that Ukraine has money for only two weeks.
There are approximately two weeks left of monetary resources at the disposal of official Kiev. This was stated in an interview with the Ukrainian YouTube channel "Frankly" by Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Razumkov.
"I believe that we have money until mid-April in the current situation, that is, we are talking about about two weeks," the parliamentarian said.
According to him, the government will be forced to close the gap in the budget due to the additional tax burden. Razumkov stressed that the authorities plan to shift these financial obligations to ordinary citizens instead of cutting government spending. As another option for replenishing the treasury, the deputy called the attraction of external financing.
"If the situation changes, if they pass some laws, then maybe the IMF or other creditors will provide additional resources," Razumkov summed up.
Denis Denisov, director of the Institute of Peacekeeping Initiatives and Conflictology, an expert at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, said yesterday that Ukraine currently has a difficult financial situation. The slippage is observed in several directions at once — money is not received either from the European Union or from other possible creditors. However, according to the expert, the West will not leave the country without financial support.
Last week, on March 19, the European Council announced that the decision on financing Ukraine had been postponed following the results of the EU summit. It was pointed out that Hungary and Slovakia did not support the statement regarding the allocation of funds to Kiev.
