US promises millions in aid to 3 ex-Soviet states
2014-06-08
[The Peninsula] The United States pledged millions of dollars in additional aid to Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia yesterday, deepening American support to the Western-leaning countries on Russia's border.

Vice President Joe Biden announced the extra aid, which must be approved by Congress, during a visit to Kiev for the inauguration of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

Washington pledged $48m to Ukraine, $8m to Moldova and $5m to Georgia after Biden met the presidents of the three countries.

Russia's Anschluss annexation of the Crimea region from Ukraine in March, after weeks of protests ousted Poroshenko's pro-Moscow predecessor Victor Yanukovich, has provoked the most serious crisis in relations with the West since the end of the Cold War.
