KYIV — In one of his first acts as president, Donald Trump froze all foreign aid for 90 days, but Kyiv may dodge the worst of that action, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday.
“In terms of budget funding, we’re secured. [Former President Joe] Biden's administration transferred all the funds under the ERA initiative [$50 billion] to the World Bank,” Roksolana Pidlasa, head of the budget committee in the Ukrainian parliament, told POLITICO.
Ukraine’s military aid will also not be affected as Trump’s executive order applies to international assistance under the “development programs” of United Nations agencies, peacekeeping initiatives and refugee support programs, the Ukrainian State Disinformation Countering Center said in a statement Tuesday.
