The Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal announced that Ukraine will receive an additional 2.5 billion dollars in the form of a grant from the United States to support state services.
According to him, the budget support is part of the 9.9 billion dollars promised by the US in 2023, which was allocated separately from military aid.
According to Shmigal, the aid will be used: “to pay the salaries of rescue workers, teachers, doctors, to help pensioners, internally displaced persons, disabled persons and low-income families”.
He also noted that since the beginning of the year, Ukraine received almost 5 billion dollars from the European Union and more than 2 billion dollars from the United States. There is also a new aid package agreed with the IMF, which includes 15.6 billion dollars.
