Ukraine Seeks $52.6B External Financing for 2027, Record Military Spending

Ukraine's 2027 budget, adopted by the government, projects a $52.6 billion external financing need, with military spending at a record level over four years into the Russian invasion. The funding is expected from the EU, G7, and the IMF, but the actual disbursement remains uncertain. This underscores Ukraine's sustained fiscal dependence on Western support amid ongoing conflict.
