A top-level Ukrainian government official said Monday that it expects the same amount of military aid, or possibly more, from the United States in 2020.

Ukraine’s defense minister, Andriy Zahorodniuk, said there is a “general common opinion” in Washington that aid would be increased in response to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s anti-corruption initiatives.
