Summary

The State Department has ended a major USAID initiative to restore Ukraine’s energy grid, which has suffered continuous Russian attacks.

The move, seen as a signal of declining U.S. support, also includes downsizing USAID’s presence in Ukraine from 64 to just 8 personnel.

Officials warn this could leave Ukraine vulnerable, especially during winter, and reduce oversight of financial aid.

Additionally, a financial sector reform program has been terminated. The decision is part of the broader Trump administration policies shifting away from strong U.S. involvement in Ukraine.

But why would they pick, support and elect their man, only to lose him to Russian kompromat? It’s just so implausible, to me at least.

In the current situation, America has given Russia a financial and military black eye, without a single dead US serviceman, with Europe paying half the bill, and they are now set to walk away with Ukraines mineral treasure, for the bargain price of giving Putin a couple of hundred miles of Ukrainian territory and agreeing to keep them out of NATO ?

How is that a good deal for anyone But America ?

Show me evidence. Anything will do.

Because I feel, strongly, that 99% of people here have got nothing but memes and YouTube. And that’s not evidence.

You’ve made a very big claim in saying he’s “Trump has always worked for Russia in one way or another”, so I invite you, beg you, to show me something that backs that up.

You will notice, that NO ONE has offered anything - despite the bullying and the name calling,

You must understand this is not personal. But I am desperate to understand why people prefer the idea of a foreign boogie man running things, than the evidence on public record of the American s than run Donald Trump and what they want.
