Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk commented on the news of the suspension of USAID financing, saying that although this is an unpleasant and unexpected situation, she believes that Ukraine will overcome this test.

" But this is not the first and not the last test that we must overcome, ”Vereshchuk wrote in Telegram.

She also noted that she personally is engaged in humanitarian response, and “Pausa for 90 days from a key donor cannot but confuse”. However, she is sure that the situation in the humanitarian sphere will be able to stabilize.

She added that when stabilizing the situation, it is important to save personnel and developments made by design teams.

The USAID financing suspension was the result of the order of US President Donald Trump, who ordered to freeze assistance for 90 days to check if it corresponds to his foreign policy priorities.

In addition, the Trump administration sent about 60 employees of the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
