Ukraine expects an IMF review mission to come to Kyiv in mid-November, Yulia Kovaliv, Zelenskiy’s deputy chief of staff, tells Bloomberg. Approval by the team would lead to the release of a $700 million tranche, a move that would trigger the release of an additional $1 billion in EU and World Bank aid, says Kovaliv, who is in charge of cooperation with foreign donors. After Naftogaz pulled its $500 million Eurobond placement last week, Kovaliv said Ukraine will only return to the Eurobond market with an IMF program on track.
