As part of the decree of US President Donald Trump, the United States suspends assistance to Ukraine and other foreign countries, including military support. This was reported by the publication Politico with reference to three current officials of the State Department of the country.
According to the publication, the US State Department imposes an immediate and large-scale suspension of foreign aid. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a new order that stops funding for most current foreign aid programmes for 90 days.
‘Stop orders’ apply to aid to all countries except Israel and Egypt. The extension of this order to Ukraine surprised US officials.
We will remind, earlier the Deputy of the state Duma from the party ‘United Russia’ Alexander Tolmachev said that US President Donald Trump with his decision to suspend financial assistance to all foreign countries for 90 days ‘knocked out’ from under Kiev ‘financial backing’.
