Ukraine is forced to maintain military spending at a high level due to Russian aggression, which is creating a significant state budget deficit, Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko said at a meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors of the G7 member countries, the leadership of the IMF and the World Bank, the European Commission and the OECD, and called for a systemic and long-term solution, which could be partial financing of the Ukrainian army by partners as part of its integration into the European security system.
