Thanks Denys Shmyhal for a productive mtg, where Ambassador Bridget A. Brink and I stressed the U.S. commitment to Ukraine and underscored the need to deepen democratic and economic reforms for a more prosperous Ukrainian future.

Russia is waging war not just on Ukraine’s armed forces, but also on its economy. At #KyivInvestmentForum , I described how $61bn in new supplemental funds for Ukraine will enable our partners to build back stronger, not only to a state of self-sufficiency, but to one of growth.

.USAID helped restore this clinic in Irpin, Ukraine, after a brutal occupation by Russia’s forces. Today, Hostomel provides medical care for almost 100,000 people in Irpin—including 25,000 Ukrainians displaced from their homes.

Great visit today to Irpin with Oleksandr Kubrakov, Mykhailo Fedorov, & Isobel Coleman where we saw the e-Recovery system in action. In a city where 70% of the buildings were destroyed or damaged, USAID has supported Ukraine’s successful efforts to rebuild with an app. It has helped…

Moving visit to Romanivsky Bridge and a residential area damaged during the Battle of Irpin with Oleksandr Kubrakov Mykhailo Fedorov & Ambassador Bridget A. Brink.

We’re partnering with the govt of Ukraine to rebuild telecom infrastructure, aid war-affected communities, & promote an inclusive recovery.

I visited the Agrico potato company to announce USAID is providing nearly $250m over five years to rebuild and expand 🇺🇦’s agricultural sector.

Our ag support enables Ukrainian farmers to boost their productivity + profitability, strengthening 🌍 food security and the economy.

.USAID invests in Ukraine’s agriculture sector from seed to shipment—including procurement of this pilot boat to support safe export routes along the Danube river.

Projections show exports will grow ~15% this year, creating revenue to help 🇺🇦 defend itself while feeding the 🌍.

April was Ukraine’s largest month of exports since Russia’s full-scale invasion. Proud to join Isobel Coleman & Oleksandr Kubrakov to deliver a pilot boat that enables ships to deliver Ukraine’s grain to the world - a key to sustaining Ukraine’s exports & its economy.

Inspiring visit to Kyiv School of Economics, where I met with students to discuss their vision for Ukraine's future, the role of education, and the country's economic recovery.

Discussed priority reforms for advancing 🇺🇦’s resilience and recovery with lead reform advocates. USAID is proud to support civil society efforts to combat corruption, strengthen rule of law, and advance Euro-Atlantic integration.

I’m thrilled to be back in #Ukraine to see the 🇺🇸+ 🇺🇦 partnership on the ground. Together, we’re investing in energy, agriculture, health, and economic security—ensuring the country’s continued strength and resilience against Russia’s senseless aggression. #SlavaUkraine

I visited Straseni substation in 🇲🇩 where I signed an agreement with the govt to construct a 400KV power line.

This is an investment in the Moldovan people. USAID is improving energy security + grid connectivity with Europe, and supporting in an independent, democratic future.

In Moldova, I toured #CyberCor which launches this summer to train a new generation of experts to defend their nation against cyberthreats.

I presented >$600k of IT equipment, building on $1.3m mobilized w/private sector in support of a secure future for the Moldovan people.

Two decades ago, Moldova had less than 10 major wine producers. Today, >200 wineries in Moldova produce award-winning wine.

USAID is proud to have contributed to the diversification of Moldova’s wine industry, which now accounts for 5% of all exports.

Energizing discussion with Mihai Popșoi while on the ground in Chisinau. The US stands firmly behind Moldova’s reform agenda and vision for a European future.

Pleased to discuss USAID’s civilian cybersecurity and energy support with Moldova Prime Minister Dorin Recean. Alongside reform-minded govt partners, the private sector can play a pivotal role in Moldova’s economic revitalization and drive toward digitalization.

Inspiring to speak to thousands of Moldovan youth at the close of #EducationWeek . These young people are transforming Moldova into a more prosperous, innovative and dynamic country.

USAID is proud to help Moldovan students become more digitally skilled & future-ready.

It’s #EducationWeek in Moldova! Perfect opportunity to visit MediaCor. Launched by Samantha Power, it is the first digital-media production center in the country.

USAID invests in digitalization + innovation in education—building a talent base in 🇲🇩 to fill the jobs of tomorrow.

Salut from Moldova! Great starting off my visit meeting with Igor Grosu to discuss the U.S.-Moldova partnership, energy security & European economic integration.

USAID proudly supports Moldova and applauds the government’s reform agenda and progress toward EU accession.
