Stefanishina states that there is no panic within the EU and NATO regarding U.S. assistance to Ukraine.

The European Union and NATO maintain composure amid uncertainty regarding future assistance to Ukraine from the United States. There is an understanding that Ukraine is financially secure until 2025.

This was reported by Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, Olga Stefanishyna, as cited by RBK-Ukraine referencing DW.

"I can note that there is no panic, no specific anxiety; there is an understanding that Ukraine is financially capable until 2025. NATO has also taken charge of coordinating military assistance, meaning there will not be significant interruptions in this regard. There is a sense that 2025 will be a decisive year, and, accordingly, the EU is ready to put forth maximum efforts to ensure it is successful for Ukraine," stated Stefanishyna.

She emphasized that NATO's mission to coordinate military assistance to Ukraine, NSATU, could fully operational by February.

"It has already partially taken on coordination, and, in fact, this creates sufficient conditions for Ukraine to feel relatively secure," the Deputy Prime Minister added.

The U.S. Suspended USAID Funding

Recall that on January 21, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 90-day suspension of all foreign aid programs to review their alignment with his foreign policy.

By January 24, the U.S. State Department issued an order to "cease operations" for all existing foreign aid and halted the disbursement of new assistance.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) branch in Ukraine also suspended project operations and their funding.

As noted by the advisor to the head of the Office of the President, Mykhailo Podolyak, the U.S. is likely to resume foreign aid programs because it is beneficial for them.

According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, key humanitarian programs in Ukraine will operate using domestic funds. This is a necessary step after the U.S. halted funding.
