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.
he’s not dumb, he’s a businessman. Like all successful businessmen the only deciding cards are: resources (material or immaterial) and power.
I’m only sad about the fact that there’s absolutely no signs of diplomacy from no one’s end and that’s not a good sign
He’s not a businessman, he’s a failed constantly filling for bankruptcy conman posing as a businessman.
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.
Lol, he’s a terrible businessman because he’s so dumb. He’s a decent con artist and has always had enough family money to bounce back from his many failures.
