The American leader emphasized that the draft budget for the 2025 fiscal year will not solve the problem of supporting Ukraine.
The United States cannot continue aid to Ukraine unless Congress appropriates money for it. This is what American President Joe Biden said when unveiling the draft of the US budget for the 2025 fiscal year.
He repeated his call for immediate relief money for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and recalled that he made a $92 billion national security request to Congress last year that included money for Ukraine.
At the same time, the request would allow for significant investment in America’s defense industrial base, which would help create and sustain jobs in dozens of states across America.
“If Congress does not act on this emergency request, the United States will not be able to continue to support Ukraine to meet its needs on the battlefield as it defends against Russian attacks on a daily basis, provide critical military support to allies and partners, and make critical investments. in the defense industry. or support life-saving development in some of the world’s most vulnerable areas,” said Biden.
The draft budget for the 2025 fiscal year will not solve the problem of critical support for Ukraine, which requires a decision from Congress, the American leader emphasized.
Let’s remember that in 2019-2023 Ukraine became the largest European importer of weapons in Europe. Since the start of the full-scale war, around 30 states have supplied major types of weapons to Ukraine as military aid.
In addition, CNN says that Russia can produce 250,000 artillery rounds per month, or about 3 million per year. This is three times more than what the US and Europe can send to Ukraine.
