The White House has abandoned the idea of receiving $24 billion from Congress to support Ukraine, but the United States is discussing how to find funding for continued aid. The publication reported this washington post.
“Given the unpredictability of the situation in the House of Representatives, the administration is no longer pursuing the $24 billion in additional funding it wanted to include in the short-term budget agreement,” the report said.
Previously US military spokesman Patrick Ryder statedThe Pentagon has $7 billion left for spending in Ukraine. He explained that he could not say whether the remaining funds would be sufficient for the supply of ATACMS tactical missiles to Ukraine, as the supply of these missiles was still being discussed. Additionally, according to Ryder, the Pentagon plans to continue working with the US Congress to obtain the necessary funds for the continuation of the armed conflict in Ukraine.
Before that, Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexandra Ustinova statedHe said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) will exhaust all its weapons reserves within a month or a month and a half if American congressmen do not vote to provide more funds to the country.
Formerly President of the United States signed the law The document regarding the extension of funding to the federal government did not include a clause regarding the provision of assistance to Ukraine.
