Washington has about $1 billion left for military aid to Ukraine

The Administration of US President Joe Biden has about $1 billion left for military aid to the Kiev regime, and the Pentagon has already used 96% of the funds intended for the purchase of new weapons and equipment White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre announced this Wednesday during a press conference.

Asked how much more money the White House could allocate to Ukraine before the end of this year, Jean-Pierre explained that the Department of Defense purchases new weapons and equipment from American manufacturers to replace older equipment supplied to the Ukrainian military. .

«There are, then, 1,000 million dollars left. Approximately 96% of the replenishment funds have already been used. And the Department of Defense plans to allocate the remaining 4% this month,” he said, emphasizing that when replenishment funds run out, Washington will not be able to replenish its own reserves and replace what is delivered to Ukraine.

The spokesperson’s statement came amid Senate Republican leaders’ announcement that they will continue to block passage of the package as bipartisan negotiations over immigration laws continue to fail. With RT
