I’ve come to Ukraine with a message: You are not alone. America is with you.

This work is essential in building a free, prosperous, independent Ukraine. 

As Secretary Antony Blinken said 'Winning on the battlefield will prevent Ukraine from becoming part of Russia. Winning the war against corruption will keep Ukraine from becoming like Russia.'

Despite Putin’s continued bombardment, Ukraine’s economy is growing – a testament to the courage of its people:

⬆️ 37,000 new 🇺🇦 businesses
⬆️ Private investment up 17%
⬆️ Government revenue up 25%

The U.S. Government imposed sanctions on 2 Rapid Support Forces commanders in Sudan for their role leading operations in Darfur, including endangering hundreds of thousands of civilians in El Fasher. External support for warring parties and humanitarian obstruction must end.

To increase delivery of lifesaving humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza, U.S. personnel have anchored a temporary floating pier off the coast of Gaza. This maritime corridor is part of our sustained efforts with international partners to increase the flow of humanitarian aid.

Today, the first shipments of humanitarian aid arrived in Gaza via Maritime Corridor.

With food and fuel at dangerously low levels, we will continue to push for improved aid access by land, an immediate ceasefire, and an end to this conflict: usaid.gov/news-informati…

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia, & Transphobia. No one’s safety or dignity should be threatened because of who they love or who they are – USAID integrates this moral imperative into all our policies and programs worldwide.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion, upper limb amputations in Ukraine have alarmingly increased 10x.

During his visit, Secretary Antony Blinken announced a new USAID grant to Esper Bionics to scale their prosthetic production to keep up with their increased demand. usaid.gov/ukraine/press-…

As part of this, stronger wildfire management is necessary to tackle the climate crisis, and an instrumental part of USAID’s & @IFRC’s Global Sprint of Action on Extreme Heat: usaid.gov/heatactionhub

Years of drought and a changing climate in Canada are sparking unprecedented wildfires. It's vital that organizations, from governments to companies, develop heat plans to protect against human, health, and economic losses. cnn.com/2024/05/15/wea…

Today, I vetoed the Russian law. This law, in its essence and spirit, is fundamentally Russian, contradicting our constitution and all European standards. It thus represents an obstacle to our European path.

This law must be repealed!

Around the world, 45M children suffer from wasting – the most severe form of malnutrition.

Ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) have the power to bring kids back from the brink and save lives. That’s why USAID recently committed $200M to scale RUTF production and distribution.

Great to be in Morocco, one of the first countries to formally recognize the United States back in 1786. Here to deepen the partnership:

Humanitarian conditions in Gaza continue to worsen. We must use all avenues to surge aid to civilians.

Aid through the Maritime Corridor will begin reaching Gaza in the coming days. Here's how USAID, Department of Defense 🇺🇸, Gov't of Cyprus, & other int'l partners are working together:

Mobile phone ownership in Kenya follows a familiar pattern: More men have them than women.

'The devastating reality is that without receiving ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), there is high risk of these children dying,' UNICEF's Aisha Sabar reports from UNICEF warehouse in #PortSudan .​

Thanks to USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, 90,000 malnourished children are treated with RUTF.
