«I had a meeting with the IMF delegation led by Gavin Gray. I outlined the key topics that determine the stability of the state and the daily lives of people,» - the message states.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the discussion primarily focused on supporting frontline regions, which account for over 75% of the destruction, as well as a comprehensive recovery of the devastated settlements.

A separate topic of discussion was ensuring a stable heating season. Kuleba stressed the need for sustainable mechanisms to support communal heating services and informed partners that the government is already working on resolving tariff differences.
