“The scope of our financial assistance to Ukrainian authorities could
increase significantly due to the unstable situation in the country
provoked by Russia,” he said at a press conference.
According to Earnest, “based on a number of reforms that they [the
authorities of Ukraine] have carried out, we advocate the provision of
financial assistance in the second half of this year,” the White House
