“We recognize, in particular, Ukraine's urgent short-term funding needs.

In 2022, we mobilized $19.8 billion in budget support, including $9.5 billion in recent commitments ... to help Ukraine close its funding gap and continue to provide essential services to the Ukrainian people,” TASS said in a statement.

Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced that the European Union had transferred a new tranche of macro-financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of €600 million.

The US Senate decided to allocate additional assistance to Ukraine in the amount of about $40 billion.
