JUST IN: Secretary of State Marco Rubio Terminates US Support of Ukraine’s Power Grid
Secretary of State Marco Rubio terminated the US’s support for Ukraine’s power grid.
The State Department ended a USAID initiative that has given hundreds of millions of dollars to the restoration of Ukraine’s power grid.
Ukraine has been struggling with power outages because of Russia’s attacks on its power grid over the last few years.
USAID will also drastically reduce its presence in Ukraine, according to NBC News.
NBC News reported:
The State Department this week terminated a U.S. Agency for International Development initiative that has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to help restore Ukraine’s energy grid from attacks by the Russian military, according to two USAID officials working on the agency’s Ukraine mission.
Power outages have been applied overnight in some regions of Ukraine due to the attacks on energy facilities. The country’s systems have sustained near-constant impact throughout the course of the three-year war.
“It significantly undercuts this administration’s abilities to negotiate on the ceasefire, and it’d signal to Russia that we don’t care about Ukraine or our past investments,” one USAID official involved in the Ukraine mission told NBC News.
The official continued: “Russia is fighting a two-pronged war in Ukraine: A military one but also an economic one. They’re trying to crush the economy, but USAID has played a central role in helping it be resilient, [including] shoring up the energy grid…We’ve provided vast amount of support to the Ukrainian government to avoid a macro economic crisis.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the White House on Friday to meet with President Trump to discuss his rare earth mineral rights proposal.
However, President Trump canceled the joint press conference with Zelensky on Friday afternoon following an explosive Oval Office meeting.
Trump and Vance absolutely lit Zelensky up as he folded his arms and tried to lecture the United States.

So how’s that little temper tantrum working out for ya Pipsqueak?
I have never in my 65 years seen a President stand up for America.
I did today.
It was exhilarating to watch jd vance and trump toss zelensh\ky back and forth.
Did you catch zelensky called vance a bitch in russian at one point.
Sadly, that cunt bondi screwed the pooch completely on the epstein thing
I cannot believe she lied to us, I really cant
Vance was enlisted so you’d expect him to have a wide range of invective, and learning the right words in Russian/Ukrainian isn’t a big stretch. Z-man was so used to dealing with Pudding Brain he thought he could slip one in.
I don’t think Bondi lied to us, I thing the NYC FBI office tried to pull a fast one and protect their kompromat. She and Patel are going to over that office with caulked boots. I expect a few Fibbies will be in custody by the end of March
li’l z’s tantrum reminded me of Richard Pryor’s “Shoot me, shoot me” skit – FAFO, runt.
I think that Bondi is following the control the narrative, and avoid losing key points by overwhelming with too much info approach. The drip, drip, drip approach will drive the extent of the pathology home to even some retard libs, and hopefully stiffen the backbone of cons of various strips. The NY FBI circus allows her to spread the releases out further to MAGA’s benefit.
I somewhat expected a tantrum or other tactic when the runt/turd “invited” himself to Washington – and on a Friday for additional weekend tearful msm ‘coverage’.
I was really pissed off when he screamed at Sec Treas who had gone to kiev to facilitate a solution. I guess that today he found out what happens when he starts to try that with the 1st team. DJT was wise to let JD (he’s been a real positive, and allows DJT to keep his powder dry) make the sharp points.
FAFO turd boi. Clandestine had two excellent summary / analysis columns this PM.
Out of a guest’s (stupid) surprise, a good day for MAGA
Fuck Ukraine.
Ain’t my clown, ain’t my circus.
