Details: Zelenskyy also noted that he and Georgieva talked about additional funding for Ukrainian soldiers, with various options currently under consideration.

“It was important to hear that the IMF sees that Ukraine is fulfilling all its obligations and implementing reforms despite the war,” Zelenskyy added.
