"I thanked the United States for supporting the decision of the G7 countries to provide Ukraine with $50 billion from future profits from the frozen assets of the Russian Federation. We discussed the implementation of this initiative. It is important for us that the funds are available to Ukraine as early as 2025 and that we have the opportunity to direct them to all critical needs, including the military," he said.

"Ukraine is grateful for $7.85 billion in direct budget support to come from the United States this year. We expect the first $3.9 billion in the coming weeks," the Prime Minister said.
