Reporter: Is the US confident that direct budgetary assistance has been used properly in Ukraine?
John Kirby [White House press conference]: That budgetary assistance is directed through the World Bank, and we're confident in that process.
Kirby: We have not seen any signs that our budgetary assistance have fallen prey to any kind of corruption in Ukraine, and I would go so far as to say the same on the security side as well.

Kirby: These tanks [Abrams] are not going to get there [Ukraine] for many months…they don't represent an offensive threat to Russia. Do they represent a threat to Russian soldiers? You bet they do. Russian soldiers that are in Ukraine…not to Russia proper.
Reporter: The Ukrainians said today, 'Thank you very much [for the tanks], now how about some 4th generation fighter jets? What are the chances of that happening?
Kirby: We're in constant discussions with the Ukrainians about their capabilities, and we evolve those as the conditions change.
