Aid from the European Union, financial obligations from nations that have signed bilateral security guarantees with Ukraine, and U.S. assistance, which is yet to be approved by Congress, are currently Ukraine's main financial aid sources.

President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated this in an interview with Brazilian mass media, Ukrinform reports.

"EU aid, designed for four years, amounts to EUR 50 billion," Zelensky said.

He noted that the support from the EU is not sufficient to cover all costs but it still remains powerful.

At the same time, the Ukrainian head of state drew journalists’ attention to the fact that the bilateral security agreements signed with a number of countries contain a clause regarding financial assistance to the embattled nation.
