Reconstruction aid to Ukraine will be affected

Trump's order seems to be mainly aimed at programs run by USAID, responsible for handing out $22 billion in civilian and development aid.

That also harms Ukraine as it includes initiatives like restoring bombed energy facilities and demining, said Maksym Samoiliuk, a monetary and fiscal policy expert at the Centre for Economic Strategy, a Kyiv-based think tank.

USAID also finances Ukrainian civil society and independent journalists.
