International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said that Ukraine's economic recovery relies on additional aid from its allies and urged the United States and the European Union to urgently unlock additional funds for Kiev.
"They have taken tough actions to keep macroeconomic and financial stability. The IMF has done its part, we have engaged very deeply with Ukraine. We need Ukraine’s partners to do their part - both the US and Europe," Georgieva said in an interview with the Financial Times.
Previously, the US National Security Council (NSC) Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said he expects a new aid package for Kiev to be announced by the end of the year. Meanwhile, it was reported that the EU plans to gather $15 billion for Ukraine from Russian frozen assets.
