Ukraine may exhaust its war funding by June, with external aid prospects looking grim.

Bloomberg: Ukraine May Exhaust War Funding by June

- Ukraine currently has funds only sufficient to sustain operations for a few months, with uncertain prospects for future external aid.

- EU aid has stalled due to Orbán's stance — at least until after Hungary's April general election. The EU's 90-billion-euro loan facility is now at risk.

- With Trump's return to power, the U.S. has effectively ceased direct support to Ukraine.

- The European Commission claims "funding for Ukraine will be found regardless," but no concrete plan has been announced yet.

- Short-term funding shortages will impact drone production and the procurement of air defense systems.

- In case of a funding gap, Ukraine may restart printing money to cover its budget, including payments for military salaries.
