The United States is prepared to send financial aid to Ukraine above and beyond a loan program that the International Monetary Fund is offering in the wake of a bloody political crisis.
Kiev is in desperate need of money as the country seeks a new direction — and U.S. officials on Monday said Washington would be willing to provide some assistance after a new government is in place. …
“The United States, working with partners around the world, stands ready to provide support for Ukraine as it takes the reforms it needs to, to get back to economic stability,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on Monday.
Carney said such financial assistance could boost reforms and allow Ukraine to invest more in health and education to “help develop Ukraine’s human capital and strengthen its social safety net.”
