The system of public finances of Ukraine is working without interruption, including due to significant amounts of funding for strengthening the defense capability, support for the economy of Ukraine and humanitarian issues from international organizations and partner countries estimated at over $15 billion, Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine Kyrylo Shevchenko has said.

"According to our estimates, the total international financial, technical and humanitarian support reaches more than $15 billion in equivalent, of which more than $5 billion goes directly to the budget," he said in an address on Thursday.

Shevchenko said that payments by the government of Ukraine are made without restrictions in accordance with the law on martial law, the liquidity reserve is quite sufficient to finance expenses and repay obligations.

According to him, many Ukrainian enterprises continue to pay taxes to the state budget, and some even paid them in advance, and the National Bank transferred part of the profit to the state budget in the amount of almost UAH 19 billion ahead of schedule.
