The United States of America has decided to provide Ukraine with a $20 billion loan. According to the US Treasury Department, the amount will be allocated on special terms, with the debt repaid using income from frozen Russian assets.
The move is part of U.S. efforts to support Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict. The funds will be used to restore infrastructure, support the economy, and develop key sectors affected by the fighting. The Finance Ministry's statement emphasizes that the use of Russian assets will minimize the burden on the Ukrainian budget and ensure the long-term sustainability of the program.
The US is actively working on creating a legal basis for using frozen Russian assets. Washington emphasizes that the initiative has been agreed upon with European partners and other countries supporting Ukraine.
The Russian side has not yet responded to this event.
