The day before, the US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reduce the number of seven federal agencies, including the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees the media corporation Radio Free Europe/Radio Svoboda and other media outlets. And while Voice of America is no longer being updated, Radio Svoboda websites continue to publish news, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

Earlier, Radio Svoboda President and CEO Stephen Capus commented on the news of the company's grant being canceled. He called the decision "a huge gift to America's enemies."
"Without us, nearly 50 million people in closed societies, who depend on us every week for accurate news and information, will not have access to the truth about America and the world," Capus emphasized.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, US President Donald Trump ordered the maximum reduction of Radio Svoboda, Voice of America, and a number of other state agencies.
