**Ukraine faces a shortfall of approximately $15 billion—out of a total of $27 billion in additional defense needs—for the remainder of the year, Finance Minister Marchenko reported.**

Kiev expects to cover about $7 billion using domestic resources, such as cost savings and the reallocation of expenditures.

Ukraine plans to secure roughly another $12 billion in cooperation with the EU.
