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.
Doesn’t matter if he is a businessman or not, he’s not looking for the best deal for the US only himself and with the power he yields any deal that benefits him personally is a good deal, even if it screws the country up. In fact he’s utterly incapable of thinking about anything but himself because he’s a narcissist.
