Ukraine has asked G7 nations for $50 billion in financial support to cover the budget deficit, president's economic adviser Oleh Ustenko said.

“The government is considering issuing 0% coupon bonds to help it cover a war-linked budget deficit over the next six months,” said the advisor on Sunday.

Speaking on national television, Ustenko said these options were being actively discussed.
