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.
