Ukraine will ask the G7 member states to increase the amount of contributions to help the country if the US Congress does not approve a decision on assistance.
This was stated by Finance Minister Sergiy Marchenko during the telethon “United News”, Kommersant ukrainskyi 
reports.
Marchenko believes that the US is likely to provide the money. According to him, the US support is important for cooperation with the IMF, “to form a pool of trusted partners that are accepted within the G7.
“We receive constant assurances from the US government that Ukraine will receive the funds. Therefore, this option is the main one,
– the Minister said.
He added that the country is also working on other options.
“Option B, as we have already mentioned, is to appeal to all G7 countries if we do not have sufficient support from the US to increase their contributions to replace the US,” Marchenko said, noting that these could be not only G7 countries but also others, such as Northern Europe, that support Ukraine.
Delay in funding aid to Ukraine
The US Congress has been unable to agree on a bill on military aid to Ukraine since autumn 2023. President Joe Biden proposed a national security bill worth more than $100 billion, including $61 billion to help Kyiv.
The document was not approved by the Republicans, who want to include in the bill tighter border and migration measures on the US-Mexico border.
US President Joe Biden said he would not support a bill to help Israel initiated by Republicans in the House of Representatives without taking into account Ukraine’s needs.
on13 February, the US Senate passed a bill unblocking aid to Ukraine. It provides for aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan totalling $95.34 billion, of which $61 billion is earmarked for Ukraine.
The bill now needs to be supported by the US House of Representatives, where Republicans are also refusing to vote for aid to Ukraine.
on13 March, House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said that the bill should be passed in the US House of Representatives by the end of next week.
