'What happens next?' Ukrainian NGOs scramble for funding after US aid freeze

2025-02-10 2

Staff return to their work at a regional office of the Veteran Hub of Vinnytsia, 250 km from Kyiv, after being forced to close for a week when US President Donald Trump ordered the closure of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which distributes US humanitarian aid globally. The hub was able to reopen with the help of local funding after staff quickly took to social media to publicise the consequences of the aid freeze.
