“We will look for other options, through reducing government spending, in order to accumulate resources to reduce the debt burden. It is too high, and this is a serious risk for the Ukrainian economy. When there is a debt, there are costs to service it, these are very serious amounts,” Danilyuk noted.
He also stressed that Ukraine will not use funds from the International Monetary Fund for reforms.
“These funds go to the NBU gold and foreign exchange reserves. They are not used in the budget. We are forming our own resource, which will allow us to be a self-sufficient state,” Danilyuk assures.
