The U.S. gives money to Ukraine to fight COVID-19

Ukraine received a total of about $18.3 million in humanitarian aid from the United States.

As reported by “Correspondent” with reference to a message on the website of the US Department of State, the allocated money is designed to “improve the ability of local health care institutions to provide care to the sick and combat the further spread of COVID-19”.

“Ukraine has received from the United States a total of about $18.3 million in humanitarian aid, the money should go to improve health care and mitigate the socio-economic consequences of the pandemic” – the message says.

“In total, the US authorities have sent Ukraine about $5 billion over the past 20 years as part of general assistance”.

It is noted that Ukraine will receive more from the United States to fight COVID-19 than other post-Soviet republics. For example, Azerbaijan was given about $5 million, Georgia – about $3.3 million, Armenia – about $4 million, Belarus – $1.7 million.
