The USAID initiative had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in helping Ukraine's energy grid recover from attacks from Russia.

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.

    Ok, ignoring everything else, answer my one question:

    Why would Elon turn off the Starlink satellites right before an important Ukrainian operation?

    Edit: oh nvm, 8 day old account that is going around “giving the benefit of doubt” to any Elon/Trump + Russia related story. I’ll see myself out 🙄

      You should read back what you’ve written . It’s one step away from saying they are lizard people. Read a book and get a wellness check.
