Along with financial support for Ukraine, the United States wants to further increase the pressure of sanctions on Russia.
The United States of America will provide Ukraine with additional financial assistance. This was announced on Wednesday, April 12, by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, reports Ukrinform.
According to him, the money should arrive in the Ukrainian account before September.
He clarified that assistance will be provided in the form of grants, as well as support for energy security in the early stages of recovery.
“We welcome the efforts of our allies and partners to provide meaningful, expected and timely assistance, and we encourage everyone to continue to do so,” said the Finance Minister.
He also mentioned the pressure of sanctions on Russia. According to him, it will only increase.
“This will limit Russia’s access to the technology and equipment needed to support its troops,” Yellen said.
He emphasized that Russia’s income from energy taxes has fallen by more than 40% since the introduction of oil price restrictions.
Earlier, the president met with philanthropist and businessman Howard Buffett, son of billionaire Warren Buffett and head of one of his charitable foundations, and discussed with him aid to Ukraine.
And before that, Zelensky held a meeting with British billionaire Richard Branson.
