Prime minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said that Ukraine received $1.3 billion from the IMF as part of the Rapid financing instrument program. The funds will be used to meet the urgent needs of the country's population: the payment of pensions and social programs and strengthening the defence capability.
This is the second tranche this autumn: on September 12, Ukraine also received $1.4 billion, which was used to mitigate the consequences of a devastating war. According to the minister, Ukraine and the Fund are already negotiating a new support program for Ukraine.
