Washington, along with Brussels, is continuing to support Ukraine on its European path, State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf has said.
“We’ve obviously been working closely with our European allies and partners to help Ukraine take the steps necessary to proceed along this path. Since Ukraine’s independence in 1991, we’ve supported the Ukrainians as they’ve built democratic skills and institutions,” she said at a press briefing on Friday.
“In Fiscal Year 2013, we provided over 100 million [dollars] of assistance to Ukraine – specifically to Ukraine in support of economic modernization, democratization, and other reforms to help Ukraine move faster down the path towards EU integration,” Harf said.
