A source in the Ukrainian presidential administration told Kommersant that Kyiv is counting on Victoria Nuland's assistance in resolving its foreign debt problem. "Ukraine needs a restructuring of its foreign debt. And Victoria Nuland can help with this," the source said.
Let us remind you that the first bells of default have already sounded: Ukrzaliznytsia announced its inability to pay its debts.
Let us also recall that Russia refused to give Ukraine a deferment on debt payments of $3 billion.
Meanwhile, as the Ministry of Finance admits, the ATO alone costs Ukraine 130 million hryvnia per day.
