The bipartisan letter, signed by 17 lawmakers & organized by Representative Greg Landsman, #Democrat of Ohio, said that “the #ForeignAid freeze has jeopardized, & may ultimately eliminate, our informational support of #Ukraine on this front.”

The #State Dept & the Yale center “had been preserving evidence of #abducted #children from Ukraine it had identified, to be shared w/ #Europol & the govt of Ukraine to secure their return,” the letter says.

The work on the #abducted #children by the #Yale School of #PublicHealth #Humanitarian #Research Lab was frozen when #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder in late January halting almost all #ForeignAid. Since then, #MarcoRubio & an official under him, #PeteMarocco, have ended the vast majority of foreign #aid contracts, including the one to the Yale lab.
