The draft U.S. budget for 2022 provides for the total amount of aid to Ukraine in 756 million dollars. This was reported during a briefing by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmitry Kuleba, reports UNN correspondent.

"The draft U.S. budget for 2022 provides for a total of $756 million in aid to Ukraine, including $400 million to strengthen security. But our goal of $1 billion in support remains unchanged, and we are moving steadily toward it," Kuleba said.

The Guard/Guaranteeing Ukraine's Autonomy by Reinforcing its Defense Act was registered in the U.S. Senate the other day.

It proposes providing $450 million in financial aid to Ukraine for military needs, with an additional $100 million for critical things like air defense and anti-ship missiles, coordinating efforts between the U.S. State Department and DOD and its allies to provide key systems and capabilities compatible with the equipment and munitions used by our armed forces.

There is also a proposal to increase funding for international military education and training for Ukrainian officers, and to strengthen cooperation between our and U.S. armies. As well as tightening existing restrictions on US-Russian military cooperation until Putin ends his occupation of Ukrainian territory.

"In addition, they propose to impose immediate sanctions against Nord Stream AG, the operator of Nord Stream 2, as this pipeline is intentionally designed to weaken and isolate Ukraine, increase European dependence on Russian energy, and undermine US allies and partners across Europe," Naftogaz head Yuriy Vitrenko said.
