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.

      Look at the story you are writing for yourself .

      Even if it’s all true, you’ve now reached the point where you’ve rejected the idea Trump is controlled by the American men who fund him, fund the GOP and control all the machinery necessary to get him elected as President of the USA - all of which has documentary evidence on the public record - and instead you prefer the idea that Trump is controlled by Russia because Elon Musk’s mother has dinner with dignitaries in Beijing.

      One of those stories requires a lot more imagination than the other. That’s all I’m saying .
