The United States will provide Ukraine with $3.4 billion in direct budget support , the US Treasury Department reported .

It is noted that these funds are the last payment provided for under the US law on additional appropriations for the security of Ukraine in 2024.

“Our direct budget support for Ukraine comes at a critical time, as Russia escalates its attacks on Ukrainian civilians and critical infrastructure.
