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.
I agree with you fully.
But I had literally just been arguing about how this actually matters with other people on lemmy. Some people absolutely will not agree on saving Ukrainian lives, so when I saw it on another post I expressed how it was just nice to see someone else write about it.
You had to come in immediately and shit on it for whatever reason.
I never said you were wrong. I just called you an ass
