It is reported that Ukraine's survival depends on both external economic assistance and donations. Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to make such help so expensive that Western supporters of Kiev give up. The publication writes that before the start of infrastructure, Kyiv hoped that next year he would need at least $ 55 billion in foreign aid to cover the basic costs. This is more than all the annual pre -war expenses of Ukraine.
Currently, some officials believe that Ukraine may need another $ 2 billion a month. Journalists report that last week, at a closed meeting at the National Bank of Ukraine, officials discussed what could happen if Russian attacks would intensify. People can leave Ukraine massively by taking their money with them. This can lead to a collapse of the national currency as they will try to exchange Ukrainian hryvnias for euros or dollars.
It is reported that in this case, the Government of Ukraine may remain without international reserves to pay critical imports. It will lose the ability to fulfill its obligations by external debt - it is a scenario of a judge, known as the crisis of payments. Moreover, as the publication writes, the economy of Ukraine can be reduced by another 5 percent of next year, more than 33% of the reduction of 2022.
It is noted that the European Union and the United States have undertaken to send more than $ 30 billion to Ukraine next year, although not all that money is officially approved. Some funds came too slowly, causing Kiev to start printing money and devalue their currency to maintain the competitiveness of the economy. This contributed to the inflation jumping by more than 20%.
Journalists write that the Russian invasion was destroyed by hospitals, ports, fields, bridges and other parts of the country's critical infrastructure. Exports of agricultural products have declined despite the international agreement on the conservation of some grain supplies. Huge sections of the Ukrainian industry are now in the occupied territory. A third of the country's forests were destroyed.
The publication writes that the Kremlin has transformed the economy of Ukraine into a Central Theater of Military. Moscow perhaps is much more successful than on the front line. Earlier, Focus wrote that Ukraine's trade deficit is increasing. Exports of goods from Ukraine in 2022 compared to 2021 became lower by 32. 3%, and imports - by 23. 2%. We will also remind that Ukraine received 840 tons of equipment and materials for repair of the power system.
