More than 5 billion dollars. roughly equivalent to the value of the weapons that US President Joe Biden’s administration sent to Ukraine over the past six months.
According to the publication, this money may be enough for only a few months.
$5.2 billion – approximately 12% of the total $43.9 billion in security assistance that Washington provided to Kyiv after the invasion of the aggressor country Russia.
The account that the United States used for a long-term program to modernize the Ukrainian army and increase its compatibility with NATO is empty, writes the WSJ.
In addition, the account that was used to replenish the US weapons arsenal also decreased to approximately $1.6 billion after assistance to Ukraine. – this is not enough for the needs of the Pentagon.
Let us remind you that last weekend the United States approved a temporary budget at the last moment, preventing a government shutdown, but without funds to help Ukraine. After this, Biden called on Republicans in Congress to prevent problems with the help of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
