The Cabinet of Ministers is preparing documents to secure $29.5 billion in international aid
The government plans to finalize the documents required for Ukraine to receive $29.5 billion in international financing by October 15. The funds are expected to be disbursed by the end of 2026.
Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyy announced on Telegram that he had discussed this during a conversation with The Economist’s editor-in-chief, Zennie Minton Beddoes, at the YES–2026 meeting.
“The government is accelerating work on the documents needed to secure $29.5 billion in international financing this year. This involves 42 documents—resolutions and other decisions. We promised to adopt these decisions by November 1, but recognizing the complexity of the situation, we will accelerate our work and complete it by October 15,” Koretskyi noted.
According to him, all the necessary bills will be submitted to Parliament as early as September. As of today, there are already 27 bills in the Verkhovna Rada that need to be adopted. Koretsky once again called on all deputies, regardless of their political affiliations, to support these decisions.
“If the government and Parliament fully fulfill their part of the work, Ukraine will be able to receive the necessary funding from its partners and balance the budget,” Koretsky emphasized.
He added that the Armed Forces have a separate need for $27 billion.
“We plan to cover this portion of the deficit by accelerating the Ukraine Support Loan, utilizing Russia’s frozen assets, securing additional loans from non-EU partners, and optimizing expenditures within the budget,” Koretskyi noted.
Earlier, Koretsky stated that there is no alternative to using Russia’s frozen assets.
Meanwhile, the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) stated that Putin fears Russian oligarchs.
Earlier, Budanov announced a new round of peace talks in October.
Prior to that, Budanov had made a statement about a freeze on the war until winter.
