President Volodymyr Zelensky at a news conference said that Ukraine does not recognize the United States' military aid as loans.
The 47-year-old revealed that Kyiv received a draft of a new agreement from the US regarding critical minerals, which is ‘completely different from the previous framework document’.
Zelensky added: “We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it."
In a press release published on March 12, the US Department of State had confirmed that Washington has provided $66.5 billion in military assistance to Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022. It further added that $69.2 billion in military assistance has been provided since 2014.
Previously, as seen in this video, Zelensky said, "Give us credit, and we will pay you back."

Am I reductive or is this literally demanding freebies
Oh lol, country vs country…
…Are we still following the mainstream?
There is nothing free in life and American tax payers money ain’t a gift it will be paid back in either blood or treasure. Grifty little fuck has got a rude awakening coming.
Ukraine remains one of the top countries that are corrupt from the top down.
Bull fucking shit. I want my money back.
If there was an actual war going on he would have a different attitude. This is a grift
Perhaps America should just annex the western half of Ukraine, and strip mine it for resources to get some money back from this. The only people left fighting for Ukraine are the mercenaries we pay anyway, so this all ends when the checks stop getting written for it.
Did this man just call our 100bn a gift?
