US Pledges Over $1.5 Billion in New Aid to Ukraine at the Summit on Peace for Ukraine

On June 15, at the Summit on Peace for Ukraine and during her sixth meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Vice President Kamala Harris announces over $1.5 billion in US aid through USAID and the State Department.

This includes $500 million in new USAID funding for energy assistance, plus redirecting $324 million to address urgent energy needs. This support aims to repair infrastructure, boost power generation, attract private investment, and protect energy facilities amid Russian attacks. It also includes over $379 million in humanitarian aid for refugees, internally displaced persons, and conflict-affected communities in Ukraine, covering food, healthcare, shelter, and sanitation services. Additionally, the US plans to provide $300 million in civilian security assistance to Ukraine.

These efforts are part of President Biden’s comprehensive foreign aid package to support Ukraine during this critical time.
