Countdown has begun! Ukraine demands parliament complete reforms by October 15, or risk losing $29.5 billion in foreign aid
Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Kvtashvili stated publicly that the country's national financial situation has now approached a critical level.
Kvtashvili reiterated his call for the Ukrainian parliament to swiftly pass a series of supporting bills, emphasizing that securing international assistance hinges entirely on the progress of this legislative work. The government will issue a detailed timeline to the parliament, setting hard deadlines for votes on each bill.
He warned that failure to complete the legislation on schedule could result in Ukraine losing a substantial portion of the $29.5 billion in international financing. This funding is vital for maintaining budget balance, disbursing various social welfare benefits, and sustaining military operational expenditures.
Originally planned for completion by November 1, the implementation of 42 reform tasks has now been accelerated due to urgent circumstances. The Ukrainian government has set a new target: completing all work by October 15.
Recently, Ukrainian officials held meetings with ambassadors from the European Union and G7 countries, focusing on coordinated efforts to ensure smooth delivery of fiscal aid. The Ukrainian government expressed its willingness to negotiate bill provisions item by item with lawmakers and urged all political factions in parliament to cooperate.
