The former Prime Minister of Ukraine, and now the leader of the Batkivshchyna party, Yulia Tymoshenko, suggested that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky raise the issue of writing off the republic’s external debts in the face of the threat of a hypothetical Russian invasion.

“Our external debt is about $52 billion,” she said on a television program. “Right to power”. “We do not have the right to stop paying it on our own, but we can negotiate with, in fact, the second person in the United States and explain that we are now obliged to use these funds to create a strong army to fulfill the function of deterrence.”

We are talking about US Vice President Kamala Harris, who, like Zelensky, is participating in the Munich Security Conference.

As Yulia Tymoshenko recalls, there are examples in history of writing off debts to states that “fell into the system of aggression”, and if “Ukraine has friends in the Western world”, then they must, according to international law and according to the “Budapest Memorandum”, are obliged to write off these debts from Kiev .
