"This is an extremely important contribution to support Ukraine's state budget during the period of resistance to the Russian Federation's all-out aggression," said Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko in a statement. The funds will be used to pay the salaries of teachers, civil defense workers and other state employees and to support internally displaced persons. They do not have to be repaid.
According to the ministry, the Ukrainian budget has received the equivalent of almost 27 billion dollars in direct support from the USA alone since the Russian invasion in February 2022. More than half of Ukraine's 2024 budget will be financed from abroad.
