The United States has stalled energy assistance to Ukraine as winter deepens and Russian attacks on infrastructure continue, Reuters reported. Around $250 million in aid promised under the Biden administration has not been disbursed, leaving millions vulnerable to cold. The funds were meant for U.S. LNG imports and repairing energy facilities damaged by Russian strikes. After the effective shutdown of USAID early in the Trump administration, the money fell into a bureaucratic vacuum, with disputes over whether the State Department or the Development Finance Corporation should manage it. Sources said the delay stems from internal confusion, not pressure on Kyiv.
