Pentagon can recover part of the weapons promised in Ukraine – the media

The Pentagon examines the possibility of redirecting weapons and equipment, previously allocated under the USAI program for Ukraine, back to American arsenals. It was written by CNN with reference to resources familiar with the content of the US Ministry of Defense’s internal memorandum.

“In the memorandum, written last month, the head of the Pentagon Political Department of Politics, determined the possibility for the Ministry of Defense to redirect a specific weapon and equipment intended for Ukraine back to American reserves. This is a cardinal shift that can lead to billions of -billions Again the spent American reserves, “reports the TV channel.

Although President Donald Trump approved a plan for selling American weapons in Ukraine through NATO countries, in Pentagon they maintained concern about Kyiv’s weapons in the war with Russia at the expense of American reserves.

“This is especially true for goods that are in great demand and remain poor, such as interceptor missiles, air defense systems and artillery ammunition,” CNN said.

Defense Minister Pit Hegset, who acts based on a memorandum of the Deputy Minister of Elbridge Colby, who previously suspended a large batch of weapon supply. Although Trump has canceled this decision, Kolby’s memorandum remains strength. It allows the Pentagon to return weapons purchased with the USAI fund back to the United States.

Kolbi’s memorandum classifies American arsenals in “red”, “yellow” and “green” categories. The weapons from the “red” and “yellow” categories, which are considered scarce, now require the approvement of the defense minister before sending.

Although resources said the weapon, apparently, has not been redirected, this situation can remove Ukraine of billions of dollars of American materials, which should be delivered in the next few months and years, CNN notes.

The USAI program was created in 2016 and provided Ukraine with stable weapons. The US Senate recently approved another $ 800 million for USAI as part of the annual defense budget. But it remains unclear if this weapon will fall into Ukraine.

Remember, on July 23, the United States approved the sale of two military aids for Ukraine for 322 million dollars. Pastor Mark Burns, called the spiritual advisor to the US president, said “help the way.”
