About $1.1 bln from IMF has already been transferred to Ukraine – PM

Around $1.1 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has already been transferred to Ukraine, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.

"The funds will be used to cover critical non-military budget expenses. We received this tranche following the successful completion of the fifth review of the $15.6 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF)," Shmyhal wrote in Telegram on Wednesday.

"We are grateful to the IMF for its consistent support of Ukraine. We are already starting joint work on the next review of the EFF," the Prime Minister added.
