KIEV, Jan. 12 – U.S. military aid shipments to Ukraine will start within the next few months, Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S. Valeriy Chaly said.

"The total of 658 million [U.S. dollars], which is in the budget today [the amount of the U.S. aid to Ukraine in 2016] is an achievement. […] The recently passed bills allow these resources to be used," the Ambassador said when speaking on air during a Voice of America broadcast.
