"Secretary Yellen noted that the United States is working to rapidly disburse its recently approved $4.5 billion in budget support, bringing total US economic assistance to $13 billion," the agency said in a statement.

It is noted that the assistance is of a grant nature.

On October 18, the European Commission reported on the provision of the first tranche of €2 billion to Ukraine as part of the provision of macro-financial assistance from the announced €5 billion.

In addition, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that at an international conference on October 25 in Berlin, tools for long-term support for Ukraine will be discussed.

At the same time, we will not talk about new guarantees to Kyiv.
