This was reported by the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.
"Today, Ukraine received a grant from the United States in the amount of $1.35 billion. The funds will be used to reimburse priority social and humanitarian expenditures of the state budget, in particular, to ensure the payment of salaries to teachers," the statement said.
Ukraine's Finance Ministry reported that a total of $7.8 billion in budget support from the United States is planned for this year, of which $5.2 billion has already been received.
