Program for restoring the energy system of Ukraine, which was invested hundreds of millions of dollars, stopped working.
This was reported by Ura-Inform with reference to NBC News.
It was the USAID initiative. Now, the State Department of the United States of America has canceled it.
According to their information from the NBC News journalists, which were referred to their own sources, supporting the program to restore the Ukrainian energy system this week.
“This will significantly undermine the administration’s ability to negotiate on the ceasefire and will become a signal for Russia that we do not care about Ukraine and our past investments”, — In the commentary, one of the US agency workers in International Development (USAID).
He noted that Russia is waging an “economic war” against Ukraine, but USAID played a central role in helping the Ukrainian economy to remain sustainable.
“We provided great support to the Ukrainian government to avoid the macroeconomic crisis”, — The interlocutor of the media people from the agency was added.
NBC News journalists noted that 64 USAID employees previously worked in Ukraine. But after the decision of the Donald Trump administration, to send almost all of them on vacation and return to the United States, only eight people from the agency will remain in Ukraine.
We recall, it was previously reported on how the blows of the Russian Federation on gas infrastructure were reflected in Ukraine.
