Ukraine's Dual Battle: Fighting Corruption and Economic Instability Amidst War with Russia.

Ukraine's finance minister, Sergii Marchenko, discusses the country's economy and its fight for freedom amid a war with Russia. Marchenko emphasizes the need for international support and aid, but also acknowledges the high borrowing costs and debt levels that Ukraine faces.
