Ukraine facing deadline to prevent default within one month

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the country has been severely impacted economically. Vladimir Putin’s invasion caused a 25% decrease in Ukraine’s GDP, and its central bank is rapidly depleting its foreign reserves. Recent attacks by Russia on critical infrastructure have further worsened growth forecasts for the country. Despite these challenges, Ukraine’s finance minister, Sergii Marchenko, emphasized the importance of having a strong economy to support a strong military in a warning on June 17th.

Fortunately, Ukraine received a funding package of $60 billion from American lawmakers in April, ensuring that the country will not run out of weapons anytime soon. Additionally, the G7 announced plans on June 13th to provide Ukraine with another $50 billion by using Russian central-bank assets frozen in Western financial institutions. These developments offer hope for Ukraine as it continues to face a cash crunch that needs to be addressed promptly.
