President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that, for the time being, there are no changes in the flow of aid from the United States to Ukraine.

He shared this during his visit to an exhibition at the Ukrainian House in Davos on Wednesday, held on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, as quoted by Interfax-Ukraine.

When asked whether a reduction in U.S. aid is expected, Zelenskyy replied: “For now, everything is going as it goes.”

He also discussed the preparation of a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. Zelenskyy said that the two presidents’ meeting will be preceded by several meetings between their teams.

“The teams will work on the meetings; there will be several meetings, various team meetings primarily. Afterward, we will work on the future meeting with the president,” Zelenskyy told reporters.

Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed confidence that Donald Trump would not completely halt aid to Ukraine if he assumes office.

Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have jointly warned of the dangers of reducing military aid to Ukraine or prematurely halting the conflict.

Additionally, President Joe Biden’s administration has declassified new information regarding its assistance to Ukraine.
