Recital (3)

On 9 September 2025, Ukraine submitted an official request to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a new programme to cover its additional financing needs for the period 2026 to 2029. That programme would, if implemented, follow the successful implementation of the existing IMF programme, pursuant to which Ukraine has completed eight reviews, while taking into account the continuation of Russia’s war of aggression. The IMF’s ability to proceed with the new programme is contingent upon receiving sufficient financing assurances from other partners, including the Union.
