On November 8, Erin McKee, an assistant administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), testified to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that American funding for Ukraine has run out, putting Kyiv in danger of economic collapse if the country does not receive more money amid its ongoing conflict with Russia.
“We have no more direct budget support,” McKee admitted. “The last tranche was disbursed at the end of the fiscal year. This jeopardizes, particularly over the coming months, Ukraine’s ability to maintain its economic stability while it continues to fight the war. It’s urgent.”
Moreover, McKee claimed that USAID’s help has enabled Ukraine to spend all of its own government revenue for defense purposes, including soldier salaries.
