The pro-Ukrainian coalition supported, is helping and will further support us now and after the war
Urainians are not alone on the difficult path of daily challenges. The pro-Ukrainian coalition has provided assistance, is helping and will continue to do so now and after the war. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
"A full-scale war is a daily challenge that we must overcome to ensure the stability of our country, to ensure the security and defense forces, and therefore to ensure our victory. We are not alone on this very difficult path. Our partners send clear signals and demonstrate by their actions that, first, they will be with us as long as we need them. And secondly, - that Ukraine will be part of the EU and NATO," the Prime Minister said.
Thus, on the way to membership in the European Union, the Government is implementing the necessary reforms, changes and transforming the country. It is implementing seven recommendations of the European Commission, which paves the way for specific pre-accession negotiations on membership. Denys Shmyhal emphasized that Ukraine had to start membership negotiations this year.
"We are complying with the IMF's structural guidelines, which provide for many important changes for our economic and financial stability. We are preparing the so-called Plan for Ukraine as part of the Ukraine Facility program from the European Union. This is a four-year program worth EUR 50 billion to support our country. Four years. This actually demonstrates that our partners are already making active plans for long-term support for Ukraine," the Head of Government said.
The Prime Minister noted that the IMF program of USD 15.6 billion, which would help finance the budget deficit, was also designed for four years. The program also provides guarantees of support from IMF donor countries for another USD 115 billion.
