Funding for international assistance will also be less, said the American Agency.
The United States intends to reduce the program of aid to Ukraine, said Deputy assistant Secretary for Europe and Eurasia Bridget brink at the conference in the Atlantic Council.
“This budget will be less than the previous one. I suggest that funding for international assistance will also be less,” she said, answering the question of RIA Novosti about the allocation of aid to Ukraine.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst confirmed that “the allocation of aid to Ukraine will be reduced,” but added that it is not with Ukraine, and with internal Affairs in the United States.
Brink said that he agrees with the statement of the diplomat.
Earlier, the international monetary Fund approved the allocation to Kiev the next tranche of a billion dollars in a four-year assistance programme. In addition, as stated by President Petro Poroshenko, the European Union has listed Ukraine another $ 600 million.
In this case, before the end of 2019, Ukraine has to pay almost $ 13 billion in foreign obligations.
