Ukraine and its Western partners have failed to find $27 billion required to cover a shortfall in the country's military budget, Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergey Koretsky said, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
Koretsky said that some of Ukraine's Western partners remain willing to fund only social spending, rather than military expenditure, complicating efforts to close the budget gap, TASS reported.
The report did not detail which countries or institutions have been approached for the funding, nor did it specify a timeline by which the shortfall would need to be addressed.
Ukraine has relied heavily on financial and military assistance from Western allies, including the United States and European Union member states, since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Officials in Kyiv have periodically flagged funding gaps as the war strains the country's finances.
TASS's report did not include additional comment from Ukrainian officials beyond the remarks attributed to Koretsky, nor did it cite a response from Western governments regarding the funding shortfall.
