The International Monetary Fund is prepared to provide sizable economic support for Ukraine under a new full-fledged loan program, Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s administration intends to clinch a new deal with the Washington-based lender as soon as next month, with a goal of securing $5 billion during the first year, according to people familiar with the discussions. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Monday that Ukraine expects to get more than $15 billion overall.
