Ukraine moves to secure $29.5B in international funding by October 15
The Ukrainian government plans to complete by October 15 the work on documents required to secure $29.5 billion in international funding for Ukraine this year.
Ukraine aims to secure $29.5 billion in international funding by October 15, according to Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi. During a conversation with The Economist Editor-in-Chief Zanny Minton Beddoes at the YES–2026 meeting, Koretskyi revealed that the government is expediting the necessary document work to achieve this goal. There are 42 documents, including government resolutions and other decisions, that need to be adopted.
Initially, the target was November 1, but the timeline has been accelerated to October 15 due to the complexity of the situation. Koretskyi stated that all the required bills will be submitted to Parliament in September. As of now, 27 of these bills are already in the Verkhovna Rada. Koretskyi urged all lawmakers, irrespective of their political affiliations, to support these decisions.
"If the government and Parliament fully carry out their part of the work, Ukraine will be able to secure the necessary funding from its partners and balance the budget," he emphasized. The Defense Forces have an additional funding requirement of $27 billion, which the government plans to cover by expediting the Ukraine Support Loan, using frozen Russian assets, securing additional loans from non-EU partners, and optimizing spending within the budget.
Koretskyi also noted that Russian attacks on Ukrainian businesses could result in approximately UAH 70 billion in tax revenues not reaching the state budget.
