The fate of $60 billion in US aid for Ukraine
The decision on critically important military and financial assistance totaling over $60 billion for Ukraine will be made soon. The draft bill providing aid to Ukraine has been prepared based on government sources, including texts of the bill and comments from officials.
Details of the aid package
The aid package for Ukraine includes $60.8 billion, with allocations for replenishing US weapon stocks, current military operations, and the purchase of defense systems. Ukraine’s budget could receive $7.85 billion from this package.
Assistance format
Originally planned as grant money, aid will now be provided in the form of a loan due to disagreements between Republicans and Democrats. The aid will be available until September 2025, providing stability regardless of the political climate after the US presidential elections.
Previous aid issues
US funding for Ukraine ended in late 2023 due to budget constraints, emphasizing the importance of ensuring aid continuity until September 2025.
