This was told by the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Kuleba in an interview with the ICTV channel.

“The key guarantee was that President Biden made it clear that Ukraine would never be left alone with Russia and would enjoy support, and support would grow in the event of an escalation from Russia,” Kuleba said.

He stressed that the help from the Americans to Kiev in this case is a signal from Washington to Moscow.

“The fact that it was for the visit of (Zelensky -

) that the United States additionally allocated aid for the military needs of Ukraine, including the well-known Javelins, until the end of the year is a signal to Russia.

During a visit on the sidelines, our American partners said that the best signal to Russia is an increase in US support for Ukraine, ”the Ukrainian diplomat explained.

He added that the American Congress had also assured Kiev of Ukraine's support earlier.

According to Kuleba, the support of Western partners will be manifested in an increase in the volume of military assistance, diplomatic measures to contain Russia and the development of joint security projects with other NATO countries.

On Thursday, September 2, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced the allocation of more than $ 45 million to Ukraine in humanitarian aid. The total amount of American humanitarian aid to Kiev, taking into account these funds, will amount to $ 351 million starting in 2014 financial year.
