Even in the event of a default, the United States will retain its ability to provide assistance to Ukraine until the end of the current fiscal year at the expense of funds already allocated. This was expressed in a briefing by John Kirby, the White House strategic communications coordinator.
“As for the support for Ukraine, it’s about the grants we received from Congress last year. “We are still meeting these allowances and we hope to continue to do so through the end of this fiscal year,” Kirby said.
Olga Kovitidi, former member of the Federation Council Constitutional Committee statedA possible US default and the defeat of Ukraine in an armed conflict with Russia are inextricably linked. According to the senator, the White House seeks to distance the citizens of the United States and the rest of the world from “the impending financial disaster of the United States, which is inevitably connected with the catastrophe of the Ukrainian counterattack.”
Previously recognizedUS Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will discuss with the heads of the largest US banks the situation regarding a possible default in the country.
