Sergei Marchenko hopes to find a solution in the lower house of the US Congress. And now there are reasons for this.
Ukraine will ask G7 member countries to increase their aid contributions if the US Congress does not approve the aid. Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko said this in a telethon on Friday, March 15.

“We always hope for the best solution to the issue, from the point of view of our interests, and we hope that a solution will be found in the lower house (of the US Congress – ed.) And now there are grounds for it . We hope that direct budget support will continue”, he said.
According to the minister, US support is important for cooperation with the IMF, “to build a pool of reliable partners accepted within the G7.”
“We are receiving constant assurances from the US government that Ukraine will receive funds. Therefore, this option is the main one… Option B, as already mentioned, is an appeal to all G7 countries, if we don’t have enough support from the US, for them to increase the size of their deposits to replace the United States,” said Marchenko.
He also believes that these can be not only the G7 countries, but also others, for example, the states of Northern Europe, which actively support Ukraine.
As you know, the US Congress failed to approve an aid package to Ukraine worth more than $60 billion within a few months. This is due to differences between Democrats and Republicans on issues related to protecting the US border.
A day before it became known that the US House of Representatives is preparing its own draft to support Ukraine, but in a significantly different form than the one approved by the Senate.
