Ukraine needs between $12 billion and $14 billion in financial aid from the US next year as budget spending remains high amid Russia’s ongoing invasion.
“There are no talks yet, there are a lot of uncertainties and we do not have confidence that this is guaranteed,” Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko told reporters in Kyiv on Monday. Ukraine also hopes to get $3.3 billion from the US before year-end.
