USAID in Ukraine has been ordered to suspend all projects.

The U.S. State Department has ordered the suspension of projects and funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Ukraine.

The directive affects humanitarian initiatives, including the rebuilding of schools, medical assistance, and the repair of critical energy infrastructure.

According to an employee from the USAID office in Kyiv, it is still unclear how exactly the State Department's directive will be implemented and whether exceptions are possible. Meanwhile, Ukrainian organizations have already begun receiving notifications about the need to suspend activities funded by USAID or reliant on American support.
