Former governor of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Valeriya Gontareva calls on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to suspend payments to Ukraine until the government appoints a new independent governor of the NBU.

"To defend the reforms we made, the IMF should announce that it is not making any further payments to Ukraine unless Zelensky appoints a governor who will safeguard reforms," she said in an interview with Central Banking.

She said the IMF should even consider demanding the repayment of its previous support for Ukraine.
