AI Summary:
The Pavlohrad concert hall was requisitioned as a temporary center for local civilians fleeing the relentless Russian bombardment. The shelter costs the equivalent of $7,000 a month to run, and 60% of that was being covered by U.S. Funds sent to help Ukraine. President Donald Trump’s decision last week to freeze for 90 days the humanitarian aid that the United States provides to countries overseas was felt in places far from Washington. Funding covered fuel for evacuation vehicles, salaries for aid workers, legal and psychological support, and tickets to help evacuees reach safer locations. Vasyl Odraha, 58, remained in his local village for months, even as artillery fire and Russian guided bomb strikes became more frequent as the war moved closer. Across Ukraine, many other sectors are reeling from the aid freeze. Military aid has not been frozen, according to Zelenskyy. Ukraine has received only about 42% of the money approved by Congress. There is no clear sign the war might be close to ending.
