The U.S. Congress proposes to increase financial aid for Ukraine by $75 million provided by the 2019 budget, as the Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. reported on Facebook.
“The draft law "On fund allocation of the State Department, foreign transactions and a related program for 2019 financial year” provides $445,7 million financial aid for Ukraine, which exceeds the allocation by $25 million for 2018,” the message says.
Besides, a legislative capacity for allocation of funds to loan guarantees for Ukraine is provided.
“Therefore, the combined balance of the means for Ukraine in 2019 will make $695,7 million. It is by $75 million more than provided in 2018,” the message says.
