Additional Context: The Energy Security Project was closed as part of USAID's original funding freeze. As the largest development project in Ukraine, the program provided critical technical assistance for maintaining power, heating, and water services across the country. Russian attacks on energy infrastructure continue to escalate, potentially exacerbating the losses associated with the loss of the project.

The analysis draws on a survey ACAPS conducted to assess the impacts of the U.S. foreign aid suspension, specifically on the humanitarian response in Ukraine. Sixty-nine representatives of international, national, and local humanitarian organizations responded to the survey, the insights from which were also supplemented with a secondary data review of publicly available information and key informant interviews with 27 humanitarian and development organizations.
