Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, international partners have transferred $7.4 billion to cover the state budget deficit, and the total amount of declared and provided assistance to Ukraine is UAH 30 billion as of the middle of June.

As the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) said in its June Financial Stability Report, released on Tuesday, about two-thirds of expected international assistance comes from loans on concessional terms from partner countries and international financial institutions.

Although they are provided at low interest rates and for long periods, such loans carry currency risks in the future, the central bank said.

The NBU also said that Ukraine continues to service the public debt in due time, and the amount of payments on it in the coming year is estimated by the NBU as moderate.
