Ukraine expects to receive $11.8 billion in economic support this year from the United States, its prime minister said on Sunday.
Kyiv faces a $37-billion budget gap in 2024 as it fends off a two-year-old Russian invasion and is relying on Western partners for critical aid.
Denys Shmyhal said during a televised conference in Kyiv that he was hopeful that US lawmakers would approve long-awaited economic and military assistance.
Ukraine also expects to receive 18 billion euros from the EU’s Ukraine Facility approved earlier this year.
