“During this year, we repeatedly said that armies win battles, and economies win wars. We managed to maintain stability in the financial, banking and economic spheres of Ukraine. We managed to finance all key budget expenditures,” emphasized the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
According to Denys Shmyhal, the authorities of Ukraine did not delay the payment of pensions, and salaries to doctors or teachers. They held and continue to hold constant negotiations every week to mobilize more support for Ukraine.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine noted that over 31 billion dollars had already been raised from partners during 10 months of the war.
“Next year, we also understand how we will finance the budget and reconstruction, and what we need for this. International support has become extremely important. At the same time, we need to understand that 2/3 of all the funds we received in the budget were our internal resources. Payment of taxes, duties, purchase of bonds by each of us,” the Ukrainian Prime Minister summarized.
