90% of outlets rely on foreign aid and over 80% have been funded by USAID, the head of Ukraine’s Institute of Mass Information says

The vast majority of Ukrainian media have been kept in business in recent years only thanks to foreign grants, with most of the funding coming from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), according to Oksana Romanyuk, the head of the Institute of Mass Information NGO.

Speaking on Hromadske Radio on Tuesday, Romanyuk explained that, following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, the Ukrainian advertising market collapsed, particularly in the online media sector, by 92%, and has yet to recover.

Advertising revenues have therefore been insufficient to keep Ukrainian media outlets afloat, and many of them have relied on grants to maintain their operations, she explained, noting that foreign cash accounted for 100% of their funding in some cases.

“Almost 90% of Ukrainian media survived on grants,” Romanyuk said, adding that at least 80% of outlets in the country had received funds from USAID programs. Some grants have also been provided by EU structures and other international organizations, she noted.

Her comments come as several Ukrainian media outlets, including Hromadske Radio, recently announced the suspension of certain projects due to funding shortages following USAID’s decision to halt its foreign assistance programs. Romanyuk said 90% of Ukrainian outlets had been impacted by this move, with many of them now pleading for emergency cash donations.

“American grants were key,” Romanyuk said, adding that “European institutions remain. I hope that they will step in with new proposals for Ukrainian media to support and protect us.”

Last week, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order initiating a 90-day suspension of nearly all US foreign aid programs pending a review by the State Department. Some 60 senior USAID officials have also been placed on administrative leave. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has exempted only emergency food programs and military aid to Israel and Egypt from the freeze.
