The assistance is twice what USAID allocated last year and includes $825 million to support Ukraine's energy system this winter, as well as $237 million towards humanitarian aid.
Power told RFE/RL that the funds will help continue repairing Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as Russia persistently attempts to destroy it before the coming winter.
Additionally, $13 million will be spent to fund a five-year program to help rehabilitate Ukrainian civilians and soldiers injured in the war.
Power said that over 250,000 people in Ukraine currently need rehabilitation support. She said the program "will help Ukrainians recover from injuries and learn to live with new limitations, allowing them to continue participating in their communities, contributing to the economy, and, of course, supporting their families."
This year, the agency's funds also paid for 3.2 million textbooks for Ukrainian elementary school students.
