Ukraine gets $3.9b in grant aid from U.S.

Ukraine received 3.9 billion U.S. dollars in non-repayable financial assistance from the United States, Ukraine's Finance Ministry said on Monday.

"The grant will help the government of Ukraine to reimburse priority social and humanitarian expenditures without increasing the debt burden," said Ukrainian Finance Minister Sergii Marchenko.

The funding will be directed to finance wages for teachers, rescuers and public employees, and pay assistance to internally displaced persons, low-income families and people with disabilities.

Since February 2022, Ukraine has received 27 billion dollars in grants from the United States to support its budget.

This year, Kiev is expected to get a total of 7.8 billion dollars in budget support from Washington.
