“USAID recently announced $55 million, in new assistance, to help Ukraine repair and maintain heating infrastructure in 19 regions of Ukraine, benefiting up to seven million Ukrainians. They are also providing more than 1,600 generators, water purification systems, and other measures to help keep Ukraine warm,” said Ned Price.
The United States continues to provide blankets, and other winter household goods; and hundreds of millions of dollars are provided for shelter, food and water, sanitation, and hygiene.
“In the past 36 hours, Russia has launched nearly 100 missiles, attacking Ukraine’s water and energy supplies. With temperatures dropping, these Russian attacks aimed at exacerbating human suffering are particularly heinous. As Ukraine works to restore water and power to its citizens, the United States remains committed to the victory of a sovereign and independent Ukraine, and we are working to deliver air defense systems so Ukraine can continue to repel these attacks,” added Spokesman of the US Department of State.
