Kiev complains about receiving only 10% of planned financial aid, not receiving military aid under Ramstein format in 2 months

MOSCOW. March 22 (Interfax) - Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishina has expressed regret that in the past two months, Ukraine received only 10% of the planned financial aid and has not received any military aid as part of the Ramstein format.

"The situation is already very bad now. [...] In the past two months, we have received 10% of the intended financial means necessary for the state's survival and have not received any military aid which was planned by over than 50 countries as part of the Ramstein format for nearly a year," Ukrainian media outlets quoted her as saying at the Kiev Security Forum on Friday.

Partners from the United States call on Ukraine to react to the situation surrounding the provision of a U.S. package of assistance in a more restrained manner, she said.

"Forecasts are not very optimistic," Stefanishina said.
