Ukraine’s Defense Minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, announced that the country aims to secure at least $60 billion in financial assistance from international partners this year. He highlighted that several nations have already earmarked funds for this support in their budgets for 2027-2028.
In an interview with the YouTube channel Pressing, Fedorov stated, “Our plan for this year is ambitious. We aim to receive $60 billion in aid from partners. Many countries have already announced this assistance, with about $40 billion confirmed, plus a European loan, which brings the total even higher than $60 billion.”
Fedorov identified Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark as key supporters of Ukraine. He noted that these countries have included specific allocations for Ukraine in their future budgets.
He emphasized the importance of ensuring that these budgetary allocations translate into actual financial support. “The trend is generally positive, as more countries are looking at how to engage with Ukrainian technology and create mutual benefits. We need to maintain a proper balance in this regard,” he added.
