On January 21, U.S. President Donald Trump suspended all American foreign aid for 90 days. Following this decision, the U.S. federal agency USAID halted funding for all active programs and projects. In Ukraine, USAID has supported initiatives in economic recovery, energy systems, cybersecurity, healthcare, humanitarian aid, and anti-corruption efforts.  

“The suspension of U.S. funding has significantly impacted Slidstvo.Info, as nearly 80% of our operations in recent years relied on U.S. government grants,” said Anna Babinets, founder and director of Slidstvo.Info. “We are not cutting back on our work but are actively seeking alternative funding sources, including European media support programs.”

Babinets also noted that financial support from the audience and caring citizens worldwide will greatly help Slidstvo.Info remain an independent and resilient media outlet that exposes abuses and illegal activities.

For over 12 years, Slidstvo.Info has investigated corrupt officials, financial crimes, and criminal activities. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, its journalists have reported from the frontlines, identified Russian soldiers, and documented war crimes committed on Ukrainian soil.  

Currently, the agency is funded almost entirely by foreign grants (see donor list here). Slidstvo.Info also earns a small monthly profit (around $720-840) from YouTube monetization. However, due to restrictions on journalistic content, revenue remains limited despite high viewership.  

The most vital support comes from audience donations, which strengthen ties with readers and viewers. You can contribute via one-time or recurring payments on our website, YouTube membership, or on the Buy Me a Coffee platform.
