💰Ukraine needs to find $8-10 billion right now to supply the Armed Forces with necessary weapons and to protect the civilian population, including air defense systems, in January–February — President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"The issue of a money shortfall is large. $8-10 billion — that money is needed now so that in January, in February our army has the appropriate weapons, civilians have the appropriate protection, I mean air defense, etc.," Zelenskyy said at the Nordic–Baltic Eight summit in Kyiv.
The president also added that right now about $20 billion is needed for the last four months of this year. According to him, one option to cover this shortfall is to use funds from frozen Russian assets.
"We will all work in a bilateral format with different countries and on securing a second tranche of 90 billion. We must also work separately on frozen assets with countries that are not members of the European Union; there are various partners with whom we will work to raise this issue so that we can access these funds," he explained.
