WITH NO END TO WAR IN SIGHT, UKRAINE’S ECONOMY TEETERS ON THE EDGE
> President Donald Trump’s election brought high expectations that there would be at least a ceasefire this year, but the conflict looks set to only intensify.
> President Donald Trump expressed a degree of puzzlement that the war between Ukraine and Russia is still going on, admitting that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been “difficult.”
> With Trump’s talk of a quick end to the war, business people inside and outside the country had been poised to take advantage of the hoped-for peace dividend and reconstruction. Those hopes have crashed as Trump’s attention moved on to other conflicts.
> “The ceasefire was at the heart of all economic forecasts, that it could come somewhere in mid-2025,” said a senior official in the presidential office
> Ukraine’s Western allies currently cover the country’s nonmilitary expenditures — like pensions, health-care and education — by garnishing the interest payments from Russian assets abroad that have been frozen.
> Next year, however, that support will cover only half of the $40 billion that Zelensky says the country needs, Ukrainian officials say.
> Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko told parliament this month that the country must be prepared for the war to continue to the end of 2026. Even if that is not the case, the government may have to cut billions from the state budget. Institutions like the International Monetary Fund, which has provided Ukraine with close to $16 billion since the beginning of the war, are also having to recalculate.
> But there is “very little that can be cut,” said Vitaliy Vavryshchuk, former head of the financial stability department at Ukraine’s National Bank. “We cannot cut … education or health care,” he said.
