U.S. announces $1.5B in aid to Ukraine's energy sector
==========
The United States will provide over $1.5 billion in aid to Ukraine's energy sector. The aid includes $500 million in new funding for energy assistance and $324 million in previously announced funds redirected towards emergency energy needs. The funding will repair energy infrastructure damaged in the war, expand power generation, encourage private sector investment, and protect energy infrastructure. Additionally, more than $379 million in humanitarian assistance will be provided to address urgent needs of refugees, internally displaced persons, and conflict-affected communities. The assistance includes food, health services, shelter, water, sanitation, and hygiene services. The State Department plans to provide an additional $300 million in Ukrainian civilian security assistance to support lifesaving equipment for Ukrainian border guards and law enforcement. The aid package is part of a larger foreign aid package spearheaded by President Biden to support Ukraine as Russia continues its attacks against civilians and critical infrastructure. Since the start of Russia's invasion in 2022, the United States has devoted more than $3.2 billion in humanitarian assistance funding and nearly $1.5 billion to help the recovery of the energy sector.
