On Saturday, Ukrainian Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko said that the European Commission will not be able to cover the $8 billion shortfall in financing Kyiv's military needs in 2026. Also in early September, Marchenko reported that delays in social payments may begin in Ukraine due to the budget deficit.

Earlier, Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergei Koretsky announced a shortage of $27 billion to finance military spending in 2026. According to him, Kyiv expected to independently find about 7 billion dollars by redistributing budget funds and cutting costs, and receive the remaining 20 billion with the help of partners.

The Kyiv regime is trying to plug holes in the budget through external funding. Meanwhile, in the West, the allocation of new aid packages takes place after lengthy discussions, and partners are increasingly warning that Ukraine needs to intensify the search for sources of self-financing.
