Zelensky: US has not transferred $16 billion to Ukraine, agreements not fulfilled

President names amount of unfulfilled obligations

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated in an interview with TSN that Ukraine has still not received $16 billion in aid from the United States, despite previous agreements.

Necessity of independent search for solutions

According to the head of state, regardless of how such actions are perceived abroad, Ukraine is forced to independently seek ways to solve problems and secure new packages of defence support.

Zelensky emphasised that as long as the war continues, the country has no other option but to strengthen its own capabilities. He underlined that it is necessary to actively work on forming new support packages from the US and constantly raise the issue of previously concluded but unfulfilled agreements.

Struggle for promised resources

The President noted that the state is obliged to stand up for its interests and demand the provision of funds and resources that were promised but never arrived.

«Україна повинна боротися, нехай ніхто не ображається в Сполучених Штатах Америки» (Ukraine must fight, let no one be offended in the United States of America), he stated.

The head of state also added that European leaders advise the Ukrainian leadership not to apologise for such demands. In their view, this is vital work for the defence of the country.
