“The Kremlin’s invasion of Ukrainians has devastated Ukraine’s economy, which is estimated to shrink by more than 45% this year. Moldova also suffered severely as a result of this war, including due to increased inflation that caused prices to rise. Immediate support to the private sector in Ukraine and Moldova is essential to strengthen the economies of both countries in the face of Putin’s aggression,” the USAID statement said.
At the same time, this assistance will help the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine to modernize and grow their economies, in order to continue their European journey.
Another $18 million will go to the US-Russia Foundation (USRF), supporting pro-democracy groups, including Russian civil society and independent media organizations.
