We appreciate this and are extremely grateful for financial and defense support, for the steadfast stance on defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state. Our partners have already supplied military and defensive assistance aid to Ukraine to the tune of about $1.5 billion. A number of countries now consider the possibility of providing military and financial assistance to Ukraine," Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said at the Cabinet’s meeting, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
