US Announces $20 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine Amid Russian Criticism
The United States unveiled a $20 billion aid package for Ukraine, funded by frozen Russian assets, prompting immediate backlash from Russian officials who labeled the move as ‘theft.’ The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the Biden administration’s policies as ‘Russophobic’ and threatened retaliation. This funding is part of a broader $50 billion loan pledged by the G7, aimed at supporting Ukraine during ongoing conflicts. The U.S. Treasury confirmed the transfer of funds to the World Bank’s special fund dedicated to Ukraine.
