The Us Government has approved a temporary. Budget, it made it possible to avoid a shutdown that would have left hundreds of thousands of budget workers without money. The budget was approved for 45 days and does not provide for assistance to ukraine. We will ask the correspondent for details. Voice of america, Kateryna Lisunova, in connection with washington. Katerina, congratulations. What does this temporary budget mean, which expenses are usually included in it, and which are not . Answers in the title itself, this is a shortterm resolution on temporary funding of the government for 45 days. During this period lawmakers must agree to 12 spending bills to fund next years budget. Ideally, they should have done it by october 1 because. It was then that the new fiscal year began in the United States of america, but as we can see, they did not succeed , and now a short term resolution was passed to temporarily fund the government for these 45 days, so that during these 45 days, that is, until november 17, the contancies could deal with all legislative and financial issues, in particular bills on expenditures that will be able to finance the government for the next year, in these 45 days, the most important funding is invested for the existence, in general. Of the United States of america, at least in the social sphere, so that the parks are cleaned, so that the planes continue to fly, so that there are no interruptions, as in the aviation system, so and in the railway system, in order for the American Army to work and get paid , that is, in fact, in these 45 days , the most important areas of the existence of the United States of america are now paid, and these 45 days exist, in order for the Us Government to approve more finances, 12 on more important bills on expenditures for the entire next year. Kateryna, that means that ukraine will not receive aid during these 455 days, even the one that the us has already promised, right . Not quite so, in fact, or rather not so at all, because already today and yesterday, the spokeswoman of the white house, karin jeanpierre, announced that the white house, directly. The administration of the white house, which includes the pentagon, will allocate ukraine additional assistance, but these funds will be allocated from previously agreed funds, which congress previously agreed to, that is, as previously reported, in particular, the pentagon and the pentagon provided specific figures to the voice of america, and it is said that now the maximum amount of spending that the white house can provide, from which the white house can provide assistance to ukraine, is 5. 4 billion dollars, and 1. 6 of them are the funds at the expense of which americas allies can, by providing defense assistance and assistance to ukraine, also replenish their own reserves, that is , in fact, the United States of america now has 5. 4 billion at its disposal to continue the additional help to ukraine, but it is worth noting that part of the truth is that during these 45 days it is not known whether additional aid will be allocated to ukraine, the next funds to help ukraine, and the white house emphasizes that if these funds are currently available, they are not really enough and need , so that Congress Allocates more and allocates the next tranches, the next, the next aid for ukraine. As marci kaptor, cochair of the ukrainian congressional caucus in the house of representatives , a democrat, stated, she directly stated in her statement that this means that within the next 45 days of additional new Financial Assistance to ukraine may not be agreed, and as a matter of fact, it is not actually in these, in the bill on shortterm financing of the government in these 45 days, there is a chance that some additional assistance may be agreed during these 45 days, but it is essentially not registered after the vote on the shortterm resolution, speaker kevin mccarthy, the Top Republican in the house of representatives, said that ukraine should take second place, so to speak. First , the United States of america should agree on internal issues, and then deal with it financing for ukraine. In turn. Opponent, democrat, hakeem jeffries, the top democrat in the house of representatives, said that the next 45 days will be a test for republicans who must either vote for additional funding for ukraine or continue to play along with putin, quote, i suggest you listen to their statements after the vote right now. What the senate tried to do was put ukraine before america. I understand our responsibility, but i put america first. If at some point we come to a discussion this question, then we will concentrate on it completely. But i believe that the Biden Administration should first clarify what exactly will be a victory for us. I have already asked the administration to come and talk to the legislators about this. What russia has done is terrible. Im really worried about what will happen in the long run. But i dont want to spend money. This question will be asked, as long ago, a year and a half ago, about aid to ukraine. I said then, there will be no unlimited check. And this is my position on all issues. I want to make sure that everything i stand for i will vote, it really goes where it needs to and has accountability. It is with reporting that we have problems that need to be solved. Reduction. As i have said before, we have to get on this issue and do it, we have to do it as soon as possible, to ensure that the ukrainian people are given the resources they need to continue their courageous struggle and to defeat Vladimir Putin and russia. In the next few days, when we get back to work, House Republicans will have a choice they are going to stand up for freedom, democracy, truth and the ukrainian people, or they will continue. Ekaterina, what are the forecasts for the continuation of support for ukraine, will the same amount be maintained, or is it possible to reduce it in the future, as i have already said, these 45 days are needed for the american legislators to agree on their own internal financial issues, and to finance the government of america for the next year, theoretically, during these 45 days, the legislators of the United States of america, both in the house of representatives and in the senate, can also pass additional funding for ukraine. Will it be, for example, the 24 billion that the white house asked Congress Earlier in august of this year, will it be a smaller amount, or will it actually be any amount at all . Currently, it is not known, and this should be monitored, and the voice of america itself will report every day whether any additional funding, additional budget issues have been brought forward for assistance. For a vote in the congress, currently no such items have been voted on or even brought to the attention of the Congress Regarding possible additional funding for ukraine, whether it will be, for example, decrease in the rate of aid to ukraine, ukraine, or a general decrease in aid to ukraine, here it is worth noting that a lot depends on the attitudes of americans, and the position of both the white house and the United States of america depends on the position of ordinary americans. As we know, according to recent cnn polls, american support for aid to ukraine is falling, and more than 50 of americans voted in a cnn poll a few months ago that congress should not approve additional aid to ukraine, so a lot depends on the position of ordinary americans, but actually , the congressmen, senators and the white house, after agreeing to this shortterm resolution, which does not have anything additional to ukraine, they said almost with one voice, both republicans and democrats who support ukraine, that the United States has to continue aid to ukraine, and should continue funding ukraine, and that in these 45 days , congress should figure out what kind of aid ukraine should be given, and calls for this are being heard. Thank you for the information, voice of america correspondent Kateryna Lisunova talked about continued aid from the United States. Well, actually there is no risk of ending the funding of american aid to ukraine at the moment, the ambassador of ukraine to the usa, oksana markarova, said about this in an interview with ukrinform. According to her, the previous budget contains significant transitional funds that will be used now. At the same time, negotiations are ongoing on the development of a new budget solution, which would include aid for ukraine. To date , ukraine has received 60 billion dollars of aid from the United States, 43 of them military aid. White in august the house requested additional assistance from the congress in the amount of more than 20 billion, the decision has not yet been made. Congress must first pass the budget, and for comparison, during the three years of the Marshall Plan at the end of the second world war, the usa spent, taking into account inflation, 150 billion dollars. The European Union will allocate 50 billion euros of macroFinancial Assistance to ukraine. Today the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the revision of the eu budget for 2127 years, it provides for the creation of a Ukrainian Special fund, aid will be provided to ukraine for four years. Knows more about it Radio Liberty correspondent in brussels, olena abramovich, is in direct contact with us. Elena, congratulations, what kind of money is this, tell me and what it can be used for. Good evening, colleague. Yes, well, actually, this is money to support the ukrainian budget and this is the money that ukraine is currently receiving, which will not actually be available from january 1, so the issue becomes more and more urgent the closer to the end of the year, and we are, well, but in principle there is time until december and now it looks like the European Union is approaching the final decision. So, its about the review of the sevenyear budget of the European Union, which is now trying to increase, due to the fact that it was adopted back in 2020 before the fullscale invasion, and even before the coronavirus pandemic, and now the Member States have to increase their contributions, because the reserve funds from this budget are already running out, although they were calculated until 2020, and the updated budget includes the amount of regular assistance to ukraine, this is 50 billion euros of macroFinancial Assistance, and it will be divided over four years, that is , it is money to support the liquidity of the budget, pensions, salaries of civil servants, social payments and support for reforms, and if you divide this amount by four, you get 12. 5 billion euros per year, which is somewhat less than kyiv receives now, i would like to remind you that this year the European Union is sending regular monthly tranches in euros, i. E. 18 per year, but at least in brussels they want to make sure that this will be future stable aid, and the European Commission made a proposal to revise this sevenyear budget back in the summer, after that the countries agreed on a number of issues, because it is not only about aid to ukraine, other expenditure items were also increased, in general, the budget has to grow by 66 billion euros, and for example, germany did not like the item on expanding funding for the European Commission itself, well, now all these different points have been agreed, the parliament actually voted today to approve this revised budget . It is extremely important to reach an agreement as soon as possible so that from january 1, 2024 we can once again continue to support ukraine and solve other urgent tasks. We need the maximum possible progress before the october meeting of the european council, so that soon after it we have it agreement. Elena, before the approval by the council of the European Union, it will already be final, yes , tell me, tell me, please, is there a mechanism for controlling the use of this money, thats also interesting, yes, well, actually, a certain mechanism is foreseen, which one exactly have not been announced yet, but, in general, back in the summer, when it was first announced that these 50 billion euros, a new such program of assistance to ukraine macrofinance. Would be approved, the European Commissioner for Economic Affairs then emphasized that it would not be unconditional provision of money, that actually this money will be tied to reforms, and actually it will not only be budgetary support for ukraine, but also support for ukraine on the way to joining the European Union, and although how will they keep this balance, that is, on the one hand, to maintain liquidity, on the other hand, actually control the adoption of reforms they havent said yet, and a separate vote on the question, actually on this package of 50 billion is in the European Parliament, is planned for the next two weeks, well, actually, as the European Commissioner for Economic Affairs described, lets say the conditions, please listen to the following quote, in july, she said, in order to receive funding, ukraine will have to prepare a Recovery Plan that will consist of both investment and reforms, as well as related reforms. will
