USAID stopped funding…😆

@sternenko

They have truly defeated the grant eaters, as the Russians dreamed.

P.S. I have never had any deals with grants but when see that the work of rehabilitation centers, veteran hubs, there are problems at independent media, then I completely don’t understand some of my fellow countrymen.

This is an attack on Ukrainians in the first place, on the energy sector, our economy. Only the Russians or some other enemy can be happy about.

One can ask how are these media independent if they depend on USAID grants. It is sad that various institutions in Ukraine cannot function without USAID money. Maybe the Eurocucks can help. 😆

Evhen Karas’ -Ukrainian Neonazi will probably stop doing podcast because he was also funded by USAID. Speaking of which, Sternenko is not telling the complete story, when he says he was never a beneficiary of grants, he was definitely a beneficiary of the granteating infrastructure created in Ukraine. As documented on this blog.

This was recorded on 5 February 2022, and gives and answer to the question: “Do Ukrainians want war?” Anyone crying about unprovoked Russian aggression should realize that the Ukrainians were preparing to seize the separatist territory by force, and if it wasn’t for Russian intervention, this would have happened, and then Crimes would be in danger. Now Russia has a land-bridge to Crimea and access to the waters of the Dnieper. Russia however has to have an entire control over the Black Sea coast and the Dnieper river, and better yet all of Ukraine with a subsequent massive purge of the Nazis.

The West has been sponsoring outright Neonazis and their enablers in Ukraine. Trump should put a stop to this, at least when it comes to the US government. This is absolutely reprehensible, immoral, despicable…

Granteaters are crying

Watch here. Knowledge of Ukro-Russian (from this on I will refer to the Ukrainian language as such) is kinda required to fully enjoy it.

Granteater media are crying:

What is going to happen to Ukrainian media and civic organizations after grant support from the US gets halted?

We don’t know honestly.

Medical services, the repairs on a critical infrastructure, fight against corruption all this hangs in the balance after the decision of the State Department.

Large part of our work is financed through USAID. Whether the financing return in 90 days is not known. And now donations from an extra source will become key.

So, a time has come to find out whether the Ukrainian society needs us? And whether our audience values us?

😆

Imagine this, fighting corruption in your country depends on handouts from Uncle Sam.

Warning!

Soon the access to articles on Ukrayinska Pravda might be behind a paywall.

But we believe that quality content should be accessible to all. So we will not introduce restriction until possible. Please support us so we can continue our work, join the UP club.

Quality journalism -that is our voice in the world. If we lose it, we will also lose the truth.

Support those that work for you, here and now.

Share this letter with a friend – save independent Ukrainian media.

Again this mantra about “independent” media but cannot exist with grants from Murica.

Certain projects that we did thanks to grants are temporarily terminated. And because of this, right now we need support in particular from each of you.

Please join our Hromad’ske society, each contribution helps us to not stop.

USAID is one of the biggest donors, which supports the independent media and civic organizations. The US President, Donald Trump signed a decree, which has halted issuing of American non military grants for 90 days.

Hromad’ske continues to work for you, making reports from hot spots, telling the stories of people and shining light on truth.

We need to make it clear that quality journalism is not dependent on grants, and exists thanks to the community that supports it.

Hromad’ske was the medium of the Euromaidan, it was founded in Autumn 2013, right before the Maidan and its heyday had a large foreign sponsorship. I am surprised anyone watches it today, and it makes me wonder how much did USAID give them since they are this distraught?

In its better years Hromad’ske featured such characters like Butkevich and Bohdan Kutepov.

Donbasophopia was a thing in pre-Maidan Ukraine, genocide talk was a thing on Hromad’ske. That goes to the question of “Do Ukrainians want war?” First they were like “we have to kill the wastemen of Donbas” but once Donbas rose up in rebellion, they were all like Skhid, Zakhid Razom (East, West together) and Edyna Krayina (United Country). Today they are all saying Russia is conducting a genocide against them. Dumb…
