US Hands Ukraine $3.9BN in 'Budgetary Aid' Through World Bank

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced early this week that his government had received $3.9 billion from the United States in the form of "direct budgetary aid" - which are funds given from the US and disbursed directly to Kiev through the World Bank.

"This is the first tranche of direct budget support from the United States in 2024. In total, Ukraine will receive $7.8 billion in direct budgetary assistance from the United States this year, which will allow us to confidently pass this financial period," Shmyhal posted on Telegram.
