IMF Will Help Ukraine Find Funds For Financial Sustainability In 2027 — Zelenskyy After Meeting With Georgieva

In a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, held on September 22 in New York, the IMF pledged to assist Ukraine in securing a portion of the funds required for financial sustainability in the coming year. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for this decision, emphasizing that every economic support measure aims to protect the well-being of the Ukrainian people.

The discussion also centered around Ukraine's commitment to fulfilling its obligations to international partners, including the passage of necessary laws in the Verkhovna Rada. The president informed Georgieva about the evolving security situation in Ukraine, noting that Russian attacks not only aim to destroy lives but also disrupt business and state operations, making macro-financial assistance crucial at the moment.

Zelenskyy further acknowledged the IMF's support programs, which he believes are aiding Ukraine's economy in enduring external pressures. The UN General Assembly's high-level week commenced in New York on September 22, during which Zelenskyy engaged in numerous diplomatic meetings, including discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron and a bipartisan group of US senators, focusing on sanctions against Russia, the need for ballistic missile interceptors, and potential de-escalation measures.
