United States to provide $25M in winterization assistance to Ukraine

U.S. Representative to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield has announced that the United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development, will provide $25 million in winterization assistance to help vulnerable people in Ukraine survive the harsh winter.

The relevant statement was made by U.S. Representative to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield during a briefing at Ukraine Media Center, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to Thomas-Greenfield, as winter approaches, the United States is very focused on Ukraine’s energy needs.

“We refuse to let Ukrainians freeze or starve because of Russia’s brutal, unnecessary, illegal and inhumane war,” Thomas-Greenfield stressed.

Today Thomas-Greenfield has visited an IDP collective center partially funded by USAID, which is ensuring displaced people have food, shelter and warmth this coming winter.

“And there I was proud to announce an additional $25 million from USAID to support vulnerable people in Ukraine during the harsh winter ahead,” Thomas-Greenfield noted.

A reminder that, on November 8, 2022, U.S. Representative to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield arrived in Kyiv and met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
