SNIPThe State Department ended a USAID initiative that has given hundreds of millions of dollars to the restoration of Ukraine’s power grid.
Ukraine has been struggling with power outages because of Russia’s attacks on its power grid over the last few years.
USAID will also drastically reduce its presence in Ukraine, according to NBC News.
NBC News reported:
The State Department this week terminated a U.S. Agency for International Development initiative that has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to help restore Ukraine’s energy grid from attacks by the Russian military, according to two USAID officials working on the agency’s Ukraine mission.
Power outages have been applied overnight in some regions of Ukraine due to the attacks on energy facilities. The country’s systems have sustained near-constant impact throughout the course of the three-year war.
“It significantly undercuts this administration’s abilities to negotiate on the ceasefire, and it’d signal to Russia that we don’t care about Ukraine or our past investments,” one USAID official involved in the Ukraine mission told NBC News.
The official continued: “Russia is fighting a two-pronged war in Ukraine: A military one but also an economic one. They’re trying to crush the economy, but USAID has played a central role in helping it be resilient, [including] shoring up the energy grid…We’ve provided vast amount of support to the Ukrainian government to avoid a macro economic crisis.”

Enjoy the breadline, Mr. USAID Official. Ta ta!
I hear the weather is rather nice this time of year
Rubio rocks.
And Zelensky sucks rocks.
Huge difference in our favor.
Somebodys gonna go horizontal.
And it wont be anyone from the USA.
We are over in Ukraine working on their power grid, while we should be in the US hardening our own freaking grid. IMO
Rubio is doing way better than I ever expected.
Wait until Rubio cuts out YouCrayne Salaries.
FAFO diplomacy
Agreed—these are the times when people can step up or step in it.
Rubio gets a thumbs up.
That didn’t take long. That usually indicates that it’s been gamed out for a long time.

This should melt down the far-left turd rolling “governors” in this country. Prixsters, the Murphys, the Hochuls, etc. You know. The America-hating morons.
Hey Z dumb act by you today
Finding Out!
Half of US money going to Ukraine gets kicked back to the rats.
There has to be a judge somewhere, like in Washington state, that will force the US to keep supporting Ukraine’s power grid. /s
Aren’t there still people in North Carolina living outside in tents? Some still haven’t been sufficiently helped since the experienced that hurricane.
Great way to help Putin. Trump may as well send Putin the missiles to attack Ukraine, then after all the human garbage is cleaned out, Trump and Putin can split Ukraine. This will be just like Hitler and Stalin splitting Poland.
I guess the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact wasn’t so bad.
We bought it. We own it. We can break it.
