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.

        Without seeing it, I’d imagine that it can either be the fediverse logo, or a supportive LGBTQ+ image relevant to that time back in 2021 when even the Pentaton wasn’t a chickenshit hive of snowflakes that lacked the balls to support a marginalized portion of our population.

        But times sure change.

      Probably, and this would be the convenient timing of 5800 USAID canceled connects over last weekend.
