Speaker: funding cuts in 2025–26 could wipe out a third of women-led organizations in Ukraine

An unidentified speaker reported survey findings and financial projections about aid reductions affecting civil-society groups in Ukraine. The speaker said "1 in 3 women led organizations surveyed warned that they may not survive beyond 6 months under current funding levels," and added that, "Due to the funding reductions in 2025 and 2026, organizations in Ukraine are projected to lose at least $53,900,000 by the end of the year."

The remarks framed the numbers as a threat to the continuity of services provided by those organizations. No additional detail about the survey methodology, the organizations surveyed, or the specific sources of funding cuts was provided in the statement. The speaker did not record responses from donors, Ukrainian authorities, or international agencies in the transcript.

The statement did not include a proposed remedy or policy action; it presented the survey and projection as a warning about looming shortfalls.
