Without US infusions: Ukraine will be able to fight from the Russian Federation for its money only half of 2025 - the Ministry of Finance

If the US is funding, the Armed Forces will be able to restrain the Russian invasion by at least the end of the first half of 2025. Donald Trump's arrival can be a real problem for Ukraine, the finance minister Serhiy Marchenko is convinced. Ukraine will have enough money and weapons to confront the Russian aggression during the first half of 2025, if the US is funding. The Minister of Finance of Ukraine Sergey Marchenko said this in an interview with the Spanish edition El Pais.

Ukraine has enough weapons, missiles and artillery shells to resist at least the first half of 2025. The Ministry of Finance promises to provide sufficient budgetary allocations for the purchase of ammunition and military equipment. The official emphasizes that Washington sends weapons to Kiev, and in 2025 he will allocate more money from the budget for the purchase of ammunition and military equipment.

The probable reduction of assistance will be a serious challenge for Ukraine's defense capability, but it is too early to talk about the inevitable collapse. "At least in the first half of the year, we will be well armed to resist the Russian Federation," Marchenko notes. The change of power in the States, as the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance recognizes, can be a real "problem and" challenge "for Ukraine.
