Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers has warned that the country risks missing out on $29.5 billion in partner funding unless the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, passes a set of necessary laws, Ukrinform reported.
According to the report, the Cabinet is working as quickly as possible to fulfill all of its commitments to international partners by October 15 in order to secure the funding. Officials are calling on parliament to accelerate its own legislative work to meet the same deadline.
The funding in question is tied to Ukraine's broader financial relationship with its international partners, who have provided substantial support to the country's budget and reconstruction efforts throughout the war. Delays in passing required legislation could jeopardize the disbursement of this assistance.
The report did not specify which particular laws remain outstanding or which partners have made the funding contingent on their passage. It also did not detail what portion of Ukraine's overall financing needs the $29.5 billion represents.
The government's public appeal to lawmakers reflects the pressure facing Ukrainian institutions to coordinate quickly on reforms and commitments tied to continued international financial support as the war continues.
