For the first time in the war: the United States will give Ukraine the money of Russian businessmen

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken stated during his visit to Kiev that it was the Russians who had to pay for a full -scale war against Ukraine. For the first time, Ukraine will receive from the United States assets that were confiscated by the country from Russian oligarchs. These funds will be given to support Ukrainian veterans, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said on September 6.

"For the first time, we transfer assets confiscated from Russian oligarchs to Ukraine that are now used to support Ukrainian veterans. Those who provoked Putin's invaders have to pay for this," he said. It is $ 5. 4 million that plan to support and rehabilitate veterans. The Secretary of State also noted that the United States "no illusions" about the fact that the path forward in Ukraine will be easy. But the US will continue to provide all the necessary support.

On September 6, a high -ranking US representative announced the allocation of a new package of assistance to Ukraine, with more than a billion dollars. He noted that the defense package will consist of $ 655 million for civilian security. He said that from the beginning of a full -scale invasion of the US Federation, more than $ 43 billion has been transferred to civilian assistance. Now, thanks to new assistance, Ukraine will significantly increase its air defense.

The process of demining the Ukrainian territories will also be funded, the money will go to other measures related to it. Blykin added that Ukraine is now the most replaced country in the world. Another $ 300 million will be used to restore critical areas in deocal territories. Anthony Blinken noted that Ukrainian fighters were able to release more than 50% of the occupied territories a year since the Secretary of State came to the country.
