      Ukraine Is Facing Another Financing Crisis

      Trump has floated demanding repayment for US support to Ukraine, claiming over $300 billion – a figure far exceeding Kiel Institute’s tracked $133 billion. With US aid at zero since 2025, Europe already shoulders most funding, while Ukraine faces a $27-32 billion financing gap this year. Ukraine is meanwhile already facing financial strain. Seizing immobilized Russian central bank assets remains the cleanest fix, but political will is lacking.
