The US Department of Defense has $4 billion in internal reserves that can be spent on Ukrainian interests, but a decision has yet to be made.
The US Department of Defense has $4 billion in internal reserves that could be used to help Ukraine. However, this issue is still being discussed in the defense department. CNN reported this on Wednesday, February 28, citing unnamed Pentagon interlocutors.
It is noted that previously the Pentagon did not want to spend these funds without a guarantee that they would be returned by Congress. But now the issue of using money to supply Ukraine with military equipment without any guarantees is being discussed.
According to the CNN interlocutor, due to the lack of help from the United States, the Ukrainian military was forced to withdraw from Avdiivka. And as the House delays a vote on $60 billion in military aid to Ukraine, the Pentagon is considering other options to support Ukraine as it faces growing needs.
No decisions have been made yet, but talk of this option and other potential plans has become increasingly pressing in recent weeks as the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine becomes “more and more dire,” officials said.
Earlier, the White House said that the situation in Ukraine is dire, and that soldiers on the battlefield have to make difficult decisions.
