The G7 and European Union allies are close to finalizing a $50 billion loan package for Ukraine, with the majority of the funds being backed by frozen Russian assets.
The United States is expected to contribute around $20 billion to this initiative, which aims to support Ukraine's economy in the midst of its conflict with Russia.
The loan is anticipated to be disbursed by the end of the year, and the U.S. contribution will be repaid through the earnings generated from the immobilized Russian assets.
The European Union has also approved a plan to use frozen Russian assets to provide loans of up to 35 billion euros.
The U.S. has sought assurances from the EU regarding the long-term immobilization of these assets.
In addition to the loan discussions, the U.S. is preparing to impose new sanctions on Russia to curtail its military capabilities in Ukraine.
These sanctions will target intermediaries in third countries that are supplying resources to Russia's war efforts.
The U.S. has previously implemented measures to deter financial institutions from supporting Russia's military operations, and further actions of this nature are being considered.
The financial support and sanctions reflect a coordinated effort by Western allies to strengthen Ukraine's resilience against Russian aggression while managing the financial implications effectively.
The outcome of these negotiations and the implementation of new sanctions will be closely monitored by financial markets and geopolitical analysts.
