Disconnected helplines, undiagnosed HIV cases and unfinished classrooms: Ukraine counts the costs of USAID suspension

The Ukrainian NGO gets all sorts of calls. Some come from military families who have just found out their loved one was killed on the frontline. Some are from injured veterans who are struggling to cope with their return to civilian life or need help navigating the bureaucracy.

The Ukraine is an industrialized nation. Why the heck are we paying for anything there?

Why is anything connected to HIV so sacred to the US deep state?

Its almost like they created and promote it.

The money just gets stolen anyway.

Just like the schools in Pakistan we paid so much money for and were never built:

Maybe the Zelensky-ite guys should stop having anal sex with each other? Would eliminate the need for any HIV testing.

Instead of the US government coercing US citizens via the IRS, how about the Ukrainian government coercing Ukrainian citizens to provide services to Ukrainians?

How about half salaries instead of no salaries?

Ah, since you aren’t doing anything, how about frontline service to the nation?

On the whole ending the war by stopping USAID funds will save more lives than those “dying” from the lose of funds.

This is a moral good.

Either they can't do anything on their own, or they're blaming Trump for it anyway.

Tough toenails. Ukraine has disappeared enough US taxpayer money. No more.
