Ukraine needs between $3 billion and $4 billion a month in financial help to ensure its government does not collapse amid its ongoing conflict with Russia, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Wednesday.

“Indeed, the Ukrainian authorities have done an impressive job in managing their economy through extremely difficult circumstances following Russia’s invasion,” IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said at the Second Ministerial Roundtable Discussion for Support to Ukraine in Washington, D.C.
