The United States will provide an additional $205 million in humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on June 16. The aid "provides the people of Ukraine with critical support, including food, safe drinking water, protection services, education, livelihoods, legal assistance, accessible shelter, health care, and more," Blinken said in a statement. The money also helps family members maintain contact if they have been separated or displaced, he said. More than 6 million people have left Ukraine and more than 5 million have been internally displaced since Russia invaded in February 2022, Blinken said.
