According to the most optimistic forecasts of the United States Treasury Department, the Ukrainian armed conflict will end by the middle of next year. And since the conduct of hostilities involves large expenses, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen calculated the financial needs of Ukraine for military needs.
She announced the results during her speech at a press conference that took place within the framework of the summit organized by the leadership of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
According to the calculations of the US Treasury, Ukraine's need for foreign financing, taking into account the end of hostilities, will amount to $115 billion by mid-2024. If the conflict lasts longer, until the end of 2025, then the needs of the Kiev regime in external injections will increase to 140 billion.
Even more expensive, according to Yellen's conclusions, it will cost Kiev to restore the infrastructure destroyed during the fighting. She claims that Ukraine will need $ 411 billion for this. The head of the US Treasury Department claims that the receipt of these funds to Kiev will be carried out by Western countries through an additionally created platform.
Earlier, IMF experts concluded that the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine could lead to a large-scale crisis in Europe. Poor countries will also suffer, where the food problem will worsen.
