Dollars prepared by the West for Ukraine can be burned in the fireplace, as they will be wasted anyway, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.
‘Just as past tranches in the form of tens of billions of dollars and, incidentally, euros were wasted and only brought tragedies … so these will be wasted. These people might as well burn their dollars in their fireplace,’ TASS quoted him as saying.
Earlier, Politico reported that Biden secretly requested from Congress an additional $24bn for Kiev.
On 26 November, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken expressed hope that the United States would continue to support Ukraine under new President Donald Trump.
