KYIV, May 27 – President Volodymyr Zelensky relies on attracting investment to accelerate economic growth, which will become impossible if default is announced, Zelensky's advisor on macroeconomic policy, Executive Director of the Bleyzer Foundation Oleg Ustenko has said.

"This is definitely not the time to refuse cooperation with the IMF. This will cut us off foreign markets for borrowing capital. This is extremely dangerous, considering that investment is the main bet now on the opportunity to get impetus for further economic growth. And this is quite clearly articulated by President Zelensky," he told the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
