Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal thanked the House of Representatives of the US Congress, which approved a bill to help Ukraine. He wrote about this in his Telegram, UNN reports.

Details

According to the Prime Minister, the total amount of aid is almost $61 billion, including:

➖ 49.9 billion - defense spending

➖ 7.8 billion - potential budget support

➖ 1.57 billion - economic assistance

400 million - funds for border protection and humanitarian demining.

We expect the bill to be successfully approved by the Senate in the coming days. Its implementation will mean more weapons for Ukraine, including long-range and air defense systems. Strengthening macro-financial stability, including in the financing of the highest-priority budget expenditures. Continuing rapid recovery, especially of critical infrastructure

We will get an important resource for victory and reconstruction. I call on other countries where Russian assets are stored to follow suit

said the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
