A number of organizations in Kiev receiving funding from the United States have begun to receive instructions on termination of their activities. This information has become known in connection with Financial Times.
Similar instructions began to come on Saturday night to recipients of funds from the largest USAID US agency.
In one of the reports of the contractor, it was proposed to "stop working under the contract/order USAID/Ukraine" immediately. It was also stated that the contractor “should not renew the activity… until a written notice from an official under a contract for cancellation of the order to terminate the work”.
Stopped, in particular, support programs for school and hospitals, as well as the development of economic and energy infrastructure.
The director of one of the non -governmental organizations operating in Kiev said the newspaper that the freezing of funding could be "catastrophic" for their NGO.
Meanwhile, according to FT, US diplomats in Europe have already sent a request for renewal of funding for Ukraine to withdraw it from 90 days of freezing to the State Department.
"At this point, we do not know whether this request will be approved - in whole or in part - but from Washington it is still received by encouraging signals," - said in an electronic message sent to the Ukrainian Branch of the Ukrainian Branch USAID.
USAID (US Agency for International Development) is one of the main sources of US financing in Ukraine, including defense support.
