The Minister of Finance also stressed the need for prompt funding to restore Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
"We need to find a mechanism to urgently meet reconstruction needs. Serhii Marchenko praised the EU partners' decision regarding the Ukraine Support Loan (USL) mechanism, which is set to become a key instrument for supporting Ukraine's macrofinancial stability in 2026–2027."
"Ukraine’s commitment to continuing reforms was also reaffirmed, and active cooperation with parliament and international partners was announced to meet the necessary structural conditions and ensure the long-term sustainability of public finances. An IMF mission will arrive in Ukraine in the near future to prepare for the review of the Extended Fund Facility program," the Ministry of Finance’s press service noted.
