Kyiv (dpa) – The United States will give the former Soviet republic
of Ukraine an additional 190 million dollars in financial aid,
US Vice President Joe Biden said Monday.
This will bring the total direct US financial aid to Ukraine to 760
million dollars since that country ousted its pro-Russian president
last year, Biden said during a meeting with Ukrainian President Petro
Poroshenko in Kyiv, the Interfax news agency reported.
Biden said the additional aid will help Ukraine weed out corruption
in its law enforcement system and implement much-needed financial
reforms.
Cash-strapped Ukraine has used international loans and financial aid
to stave off bankruptcy as the country struggles to bring its economy
out of Russia‘s direct influence.
It is also trying to quell a pro-Russian rebellion in the country‘s
two eastern-most regions.
