U.S. Disburses $3.4 Billion in Budget Support to Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict

Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen announced the disbursement of $3.4 billion in direct budget support for Ukraine, emphasizing the critical role of U.S. financial aid in Ukraine's defense against Russia's aggression.

This assistance is part of the final disbursement under the bipartisan Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024. It is conditioned on Ukraine implementing reforms aimed at strengthening law enforcement, enhancing transparency, and fighting corruption.

Yellen highlighted the importance of Ukraine's success for U.S. national security and global stability, underscoring that Russia, not American taxpayers, will bear the costs of its illegal war.

The U.S. remains committed to supporting Ukraine through both financial aid and sanctions on Russia’s war efforts.
