The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“The program will consist of two parts. The first part is urgent funding until our victory in this war. The second part is Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction and transformation. The first tranche worth more than $2.7 billion is expected to be received in the near future,” Shmyhal wrote.
