The government approved the draft agreement between Ukraine and the USA, which will allow to receive almost 7.9 billion dollars of financial and economic support.

‘These are funds within the new package of American aid, which will be directed to the budget of Ukraine,’ Denys Shmyhal explained.

In addition, the decision to attract up to 100 million euros from the European Investment Bank was supported. According to the prime minister, these funds will be used for lending to small and medium-sized businesses.

In total, Ukraine has already received 11.8 billion dollars of international financial aid this year. These are funds from the IMF, funds from the European Union under the Ukraine Facility program, and funds from other partners.
