Summary
The State Department has ended a major USAID initiative to restore Ukraine’s energy grid, which has suffered continuous Russian attacks.
The move, seen as a signal of declining U.S. support, also includes downsizing USAID’s presence in Ukraine from 64 to just 8 personnel.
Officials warn this could leave Ukraine vulnerable, especially during winter, and reduce oversight of financial aid.
Additionally, a financial sector reform program has been terminated. The decision is part of the broader Trump administration policies shifting away from strong U.S. involvement in Ukraine.
Damn is it nice to see people upset about this.
I literally just got banned from a community cause thsi didn’t matter enough, only Gaza. Like, why can’t we support saving lives in multiple places
I’d like to note, the community was a politics board on lemmy.ml. You could breathe the wrong way and they’d ban you over there.
Yeah they banned me but kept up the comment talking about how democrats would dismember every Gaza baby to keep the Ukraine war going
So, I’m kinda glad I’m not going there anymore haha
