The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has been ordered to suspend funding for projects being implemented in Ukraine, Reuters reports, citing a source in the agency.

"A USAID official, who requested anonymity, said officers responsible for projects in Ukraine have been told to stop all work. Among the projects that have been frozen are support to schools and health assistance like emergency maternal care and childhood vaccinations, the official said," the Reuters said in its article.

As reported, the U.S. State Department announced an immediate, large-scale pause in the provision of foreign aid. The State Department is expected to prepare a report within 85 days of the guidance's release that will accompany Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recommendations to President Donald Trump on which foreign assistance programs to continue and which to end.
