Ukraine hopes that Germany will transfer $500 million per month to finance Ukraine's wartime budget.

 Oleksandr Rodnyanskyi, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's adviser on economic issues, told the newspapers of the Funke media group about this, ZDF reports.

 "We are talking about a reliable schedule - at least for the next six months. We need four to five billion dollars for our budget every month," said Rodnyanskyi.

 According to him, Germany "could take on about 500 million dollars a month, especially with the perspective of 2023."

 In general, Ukraine expects about two billion dollars a month from the EU.

 According to Rodnyansky, recent Russian drone and missile attacks have destroyed 30 percent of power plants and 40 percent of energy infrastructure. Previously, Ukraine exported electricity and received significant income. This supported the currency and stabilized the central bank's reserves.

 Unfortunately, the Russians "achieved their goal - to strangle Ukrainian electricity exports," the adviser said. The attacks are also a targeted blow to the EU's energy security, he stressed.

 Rodnyansky hopes for emergency aid for Ukraine in the form of diesel generators, emergency power generators or mobile power plants from the West.
