The International Monetary Fund has cut Ukraine's economic growth forecast for 2026 to just 2%. The revision is based on a new baseline assumption that the war with Russia will continue for at least another year. The IMF specifically cited Russia's persistent attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure as a major drag on the country's economic recovery and future prospects.
