The Trump administration's freeze of foreign funding has begun impacting an international effort to hold Russia responsible for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, according to numerous sources and a Ukrainian document seen by Reuters, halting dozens of jobs and tens of millions of dollars in aid. Ukraine has opened more than 140,000 war crime cases since Moscow's full-scale invasion, which has killed tens of thousands, ravaged vast swathes of the country and left behind mental and physical scars from occupation. US-funded international initiatives such as the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group for Ukraine (ACA) have provided expertise and oversight to Ukrainian authorities. Kyiv has been praised by its Western partners for probing alleged crimes while the war is still raging.

Лютий 5 2025 | 12:10

Funds allocated by Congress for US weapons packages to Ukraine during the Biden administration are nearly depleted, with most of the equipment already delivered.

These drawdowns primarily pay US arms manufacturers to restock American weapon reserves rather than sending new arms to...
