Earlier, on 25 January, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) froze programs to support foreign countries, including Ukraine. As the Associated Press agency noted, Ukrainian officials financed by the US State Department may lose money as part of the freeze.

On 29 January, the State Department specified that the United States would retain funding for some of its national security programs, including the protection of personnel abroad, despite the decision to suspend foreign aid for 90 days. The department also noted that the pause would allow it to scrutinize and prevent its own losses.
