Ukraine's Ministry of Social Picy deems USAID projects funding suspension non-critical

The Ministry of Social Picy is currently analyzing the impact of the suspension of funding for projects through the United States Agency for International Develment (USAID). However, they assure that this decision will not have a critical effect on financing Ukraine's social initiatives.

Minister of Social Picy of Ukraine Oksana Zhnovych emphasized this during a press conference summarizing the Ministry's work in 2024, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Suspension of U.S. non-military aid has not significantly impacted the funding of our projects in Ukraine. We have numerous agreements with Eurean partners, the UK, and the World Bank. The suspension of U.S. funding does not affect major projects included in the budget but relates to support for the civil society sector,” Zhnovych stated.

She added that while certain projects in Ukraine did receive resources from USAID, the Ministry is still evaluating which contractors have lost funding under this decision.

"Given our wide network of partners, I cannot yet specify which of them will see funding cut. We are still clarifying this. However, overall, the situation is not critical for us," the minister emphasized.
