"To be or not to be" military aid to Ukraine - U.S. made a statement

The Coordinator of the White House National Security Council, said that the USA no longer has sufficient funding to provide Ukraine with new military aid packages.

He told about this during a video briefing.

"The President signed the last security assistance package, for which we have authority for funds. That's it. We need additional support so that we can provide additional security assistance to Ukraine," Kirby said.

He said that whenever the U.S. releases one of the military aid packages, there is a delay of several days, if not weeks, so the weapons from the latest military aid package was still delivered to Ukraine in full.

"This will happen in the coming days and weeks. Further - there is no funding," the White House official clarified.

He also noted that he doesn't know about any " soon" solution that could be applied, to resume the allocation of new defense aid packages to Ukraine.

Earlier "Apostrophe" wrote that Biden signed the defense budget for $886 billion.
