We are calling on our partners and allies to join us by swiftly disbursing their existing commitments to Ukraine and by stepping up in doing more-both to help Ukraine continue its essential government services and to help Ukraine begin to build and recover. In addition, we have joined the Group of Creditors to suspend Ukraine’s bilateral debt service payments this year and next year.īut let me be clear: international support for Ukraine is a collective effort. This brings the United States’ total economic assistance to Ukraine to $13 billion, all in grants. We are committed to getting this funding to you as soon as possible because we know how important it is in supporting your brave resistance to Russia’s illegal invasion. Two weeks ago, Congress passed $4.5 billion in direct budget support for Ukraine, which I’m pleased to announce the United States will begin to disburse to the Ukrainian government in the coming weeks. We will continue to support you as you rebuild the prosperous and free Ukraine that your country has fought so hard to secure. The United States continues to stand resolutely with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. Once again, the world has seen the true nature of Russia’s barbaric and illegal war. I want to offer our deepest condolences to the people of Ukraine, and especially those whose loved ones were senselessly killed yesterday.
