According to International Monetary Fund estimates contained in the document, Ukraine's total financing needs for this period will amount to about 135.7 billion euros, including 51 billion. The size of Kyiv's financing deficit is large, and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen noted in a letter accompanying the document, which AFP saw on Monday, that 'the size of the financing deficit for Ukraine is large'. A European Commission document stated that Ukraine will need more than 70 billion euros next year to finance its war against Moscow. Ukraine is on the brink of a financial crisis without European support, and the European Union pledged at its leaders' summit in October to finance Kyiv's war efforts for the 2026-2027 period.
