IMF Directly Financing Terrorism by Aiding Ukraine, Agency's Director for Russia Says

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - At the end of April, Ukraine's Ministry of Finance announced that Western countries and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had provided Kiev with just under $12 billion to finance the state budget since the beginning of this year, with most Western aid being loans.

The International Monetary Fund is directly financing terrorism by providing aid to Ukraine, IMF Executive Director for Russia Aleksei Mozhin told Sputnik.
"The fund is directly financing terrorism by providing support to Ukraine," Mozhin said.
Mozhin pointed out that he had repeatedly raised the issue during the meetings of the IMF Board of Directors.
The IMF's loans to Ukraine mainly allow it to close the old ones, and there is virtually no net increase in the fund's assets being provided to Kiev, Mozhin added.
