Currently, the US Department of Defense has 6 billion dollars for Ukraine, and they are going to use them before the change of president.
The Pentagon intends to use all funds available to support Ukraine until the end of Joe Biden’s presidential term – before the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20.
The Deputy Spokesperson of the US Department of Defense, Sabrina Singh, stated this with reference during the briefing, Voice of America writes . Now the Ministry of Defense has 6 billion dollars for Ukraine. We are talking about $4 billion for the Presidential Authorization Program (PDA), under which weapons are withdrawn from US military warehouses, and about $2 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), under which weapons are ordered directly from manufacturers.
Speaking about deliveries under the PDA program, Singh noted that some weapons arrive in Ukraine within days and weeks. The delivery of another may take longer – it all depends on its availability in warehouses in the US.Video of the day.
“We’re always looking at the capabilities that Ukraine needs on the battlefield, that the Ukrainian military will be able to use and that will have the most value. Today, I don’t have a set of new assets or new things that we’re looking at, but every time we announce an aid package or a new commitment , this is an investment in the success of Ukrainians who are fighting on the battlefield,” the Pentagon’s deputy spokeswoman added.
According to her, after the transition of power, the new administration (of President Trump, UNIAN) will work with the Congress on the formation of a policy to support Ukraine in the future. At the same time, Singh emphasized that Ukraine has support from both parties in the US Congress.
“Republicans and Democrats have committed to Ukraine in the form of votes and money. The new team will work with Congress, and there is support in Congress to continue helping Ukraine,” she said.
In addition, Singh reminded that Ukraine is supported not only by the USA, but also by other countries.
