The temporary shutdown of the American government due to the so-called “shutdown” (delay in the adoption of a new budget) may affect the speed of provision of military assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This was stated by US State Department Speaker Matthew Miller.
According to him, the shutdown is a legal issue regarding who is allowed to work during the shutdown and who is prohibited.
We can continue to provide assistance – military assistance, security assistance – in the event of a government shutdown. But when you have multiple people banned from coming to work, it can impact the speed of any deliveries. That’s why we think a shutdown would be so troubling and why we’re calling on Congress to fund the government,” Miller said.
Let us remind you that financial assistance from the United States is in question not only for 2024, but also at the end of 2023, since the fiscal year in the United States ends on September 30 and the next budget period must begin on October 1. However, American parliamentarians were unable to adopt a budget for next year.
In such a situation, the US Congress must adopt a so-called interim budget, which will be in effect until the adoption of a full estimate. This document also includes financial assistance for Ukraine – about $3.3 billion. by the end of 2023.
