IMF Warns Ukraine Faces $54 Billion Funding Gap by 2029

The IMF predicts Ukraine will face a $54 billion funding gap by 2029. Ukraine is also pushing for bold action on Russian assets to close a $78 billion gap in 2027. A minister said Ukraine received €6.6 billion in EU support to boost combat power. The country is dealing with a double crunch: filling the funding gap and exporting its grain.
