“Ukraine needs between $40bn and $48bn in funding this year for its economy to function,” Bloomberg quoted her as saying.

According to Georgieva, the IMF is working in cooperation with the US and EU on a programme for Ukraine and is supporting the country in running a “war economy”.

Earlier, the deputy head of the Ukrainian Finance Ministry, Olha Zykova, said that Ukraine needs continuous financial assistance from external sources, with monthly requirements of about $3bn.

At the end of December, Ukraine received $2bn in grant funds from the United States through a World Bank trust fund.

It also became known that the G7 has provided $32.7bn in aid to Ukraine’s budget in 2022.
