Pentagon Says Ukraine Would Have Difficulty Repaying Loans to US for Aid
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - A month ago, US Senator Lindsey Graham endorsed former US President Donald Trump's idea to provide Kiev with $60 billion in the form of a loan instead of giving the money in the form of foreign aid.
Ukraine would have difficulty repaying any loans to the
United States for assistance, Defense Department Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said on Thursday.
"A nation like Ukraine, that’s going through a war, I think it's going to be very hard, obviously, for a country like that to repay these loans, but that's something that would have to, obviously, be worked out with not just the Department of Defense, but the State Department and with the White House," Singh said during a press briefing, when asked about the proposal.
Earlier on Thursday, US House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said he discussed the possibility of
aiding Ukraine through loans with other lawmakers, adding that such an idea could prove popular.
The West has been actively providing military and financial aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian special military operation in February 2022.
However, the Eastern European country's ability to repay this aid in the future remains a big question. The plight of the Ukrainian economy is evidenced, among other things, by the recent plan to
scrap at least five ministries out of the 19 existing ones due to budget deficit, according to the Ukrainian media.
Two weeks ago, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal announced that one-third of all ministries and their staff would be cut. Earlier, he also said that in 2024 Kiev hoped to receive $37 billion from foreign donors to cover the budget deficit.
