Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko attends a meeting with Ukraine's President in Kyiv.

Ukraine’s new prime minister, Yulia Svyrydenko, said she will probably seek more financing from the International Monetary Fund, and will speak with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about new funding, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

“If the baseline scenario assumes the war will continue into next year, it is very likely we will have a new IMF program,” Svyrydenko told Bloomberg News in an interview.
