During the meeting, the issues of additional assistance to Ukraine from the Fund in the short term and the issue of long -term restoration of Ukraine were discussed.
“We greatly appreciate the decision to create a special account under the supervision of the IMF to provide additional assistance to Ukraine from the member states of the Fund on a bilateral basis,” Shmyhal said.
