Ukraine expects to get to $16Bfrom international partners before year-end - PM Shmyhal

That’s according to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Ukrinform reported, referring to the government portal.

Shmyhal noted that Ukraine had already received from its allies more than $14 billion in external financing.

"At the same time, we are discussing the possibility of launching a new major program with the International Monetary Fund. Also, more than $5 billion will be saved for the budget and Ukrainian citizens thanks to the successful negotiations that the government conducted with external creditors. Ukraine has postponed the payment on foreign debt until at least 2024," Shmyhal said.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Netherlands will provide Ukraine with more than EUR 65 million in aid to begin the reconstruction of regions affected by Russian aggression.
