“I am focused on military aid, but she did not finish,” said Wołodymyr Zelnski. Ukraine’s president referred to the US decision to suspend almost all foreign aid programs for 90 days, according to media reports.
According to the AP agency, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a memorandum to employees of the State Department and aid agency USAID, where he ordered a 90-day suspension of work on most American foreign aid programs. The exceptions are military aid to Israel and Egypt.
This suspension is to apply until compliance reporting for these programs becomes a goal of U.S. foreign policy.
Donald Trump signed a regulation suspending U.S. development assistance on his first day in office. New Order Rubio goes beyond these recipes and is another step.

According to PAP sources in Congress associated with the Democratic Party, the Secretary of State’s decision actually means suspending all aid to Ukraine. Both humanitarian and military. Most of these issues are managed by the State Department. The exception is the help implemented by the World Bank.
Wołodymyr Zelanski responds. “You have to see.”
The President of Ukraine was asked for the new decision of the American authorities at a press conference on Saturday with the President of Moldova May Sandu.
– I know there are some limitations, you need to look in detail. Today, 90-day restrictions, humanitarian programs. I know that there are many institutes in the world that were previously supported by the US government. But I don’t see this money – said Wołodymyr Zelnski.
