Bruxelles-ul pune presiune asupra Kievului pentru a accelera reformele pe fondul crizei bugetare

The European Commission urges Ukraine to expedite reforms to access approximately €20 billion in EU funds, amid a growing budget deficit. Discussions are ongoing to determine Ukraine's financial needs, with the IMF involved. President Zelensky highlighted a $27 billion deficit for defense, surprising European officials. He suggested advancing part of a €90 billion support loan, which could reduce available funds next year. The EU emphasizes that reforms are crucial for accessing financial packages, with some projects already under parliamentary review. The situation has led to calls for timely legislative action to ensure EU funding and support Ukraine's EU accession efforts.
