Where will the new grant from the US be directed

As Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported, the US government directed funding through the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and in coordination with the US Treasury Department and the US State Department.

These funds will be directed to priority humanitarian and social programs.

As the Minister of Finance of Ukraine, Serhii Marchenko, noted, direct budget support from the United States since February 2022 has reached $28.2 billion.

This is the largest financial aid to Ukraine among all countries in the world.

In the current year, budget support from the USA is provided in the amount of 7.8 billion dollars, of which 5.2 billion dollars have already been mobilized.
