The head of the Accounting Chamber, Valeriy Patskan, has called for the cancellation of Ukraine's foreign debt in connection with Russia's military aggression against Ukraine.

"The scale of destruction in Ukraine caused by Russia's aggression is colossal! In view of this, our external creditors must be required to write off Ukraine's debts. Today, external debt is UAH 1.6 trillion, or more than $57 billion," he wrote on Facebook.

"International financial organizations should review the debt policy and zero out Ukraine's debts," he added.
