**US Gives $20 Billion to Ukraine**
The US has given $20 billion to Ukraine. This money comes from profits made by Russia after its assets were frozen.
This is a big part of a bigger package worth $50 billion agreed on by the G7 in June. The funds will be used for non-military purposes, like helping hospitals and emergency services.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that using frozen Russian assets means Russia has to pay for its actions, not US taxpayers.
**Changes Ahead?**
However, with Donald Trump becoming the new US President soon, there are doubts about whether this aid will continue. Mr. Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine quickly and has questioned the financial support given to Kyiv.
The money was transferred to a World Bank fund on Tuesday. This means it is now available for Ukraine to use as needed.
**Where Will the Money Go?**
Ukraine needs all the help it can get, with Russian forces retaking ground in eastern Ukraine recently. The aid will go towards supporting emergency services and other critical areas of society.
US officials had wanted to dedicate half of this money to military aid but were unable to get Congress‘ approval.
