It is noted that Senator Richard Durbin wrote in a message to the Pentagon Inspector Glenn Fine that “the delay seems to impede the Ministry’s statutory obligation to provide security assistance to Ukraine at a critical time and raises serious questions about whether the Ministry of Defense staff were involved in any or a scheme aimed at a political opponent. ”
“As a result, it is imperative that your office conduct a thorough analysis of the potential role of the Department of Defense in these allegations and timely present your findings to congressional defense committees,” Durbin added.
Earlier, US leader Donald Trump said that the United States will delay the allocation of financial assistance to Ukraine until "Europe and other countries begin to make their contribution."
In turn, the representative of the EU diplomatic service Maya Kosyanchich said that the European Union and European financial institutions since 2014 "have mobilized more than € 15 billion in grants and loans to support the reform process (in Ukraine. - RT )."
