The US has announced another $1.8 billion in humanitarian aid for UN relief work around the world, including Ukraine, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported.
The package builds on a December 2025 agreement between Washington and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, known as OCHA.

The latest contribution brings total US support under the “Humanitarian Reset” framework to $3.8 billion across 21 crisis-hit countries, according to RFE/RL.
US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said the funding would help “save more lives around the world” while advancing reforms aimed at improving “efficiency, accountability, and lasting impact.”
The money will support OCHA’s country-based pooled funds and targeted emergency aid programs in countries including Ukraine, Sudan, Syria, Haiti, Lebanon and Venezuela.
Jeremy Lewin, under secretary of state for foreign assistance, humanitarian affairs and religious freedom, told RFE/RL that Ukraine would receive support under the new tranche.
“Ukraine was in our first tranche [of US aid], and will receive additional funding in this tranche as well,” Lewin said.
He described Russia’s war against Ukraine as “one of the most brutal and senseless wars in human history.”
“The situation in Ukraine cannot get better until the war ends,” Lewin said, adding that President Donald Trump continued to push for peace negotiations and cease-fire efforts.
