He stated this during a joint briefing with Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
Kerry recalled that he was in Ukraine 11 months ago - “a few days before Russia seized Crimea.”
“The media often forget to say that Ukraine has passed all the tests. We are seeing incredible democratic changes. It is important that parliament adopted a consolidated budget. The United States will support Ukraine as it builds a democratic, independent, sovereign future,” Kerry said.
He recalled that the United States is allocating $16,5 million to support victims in Donbass, as well as a $1 billion loan for reforms.
At the same time, if reforms are carried out at the appropriate level, then Ukraine will be able to count on another $1 billion loan.
