WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States has already burned through nearly 96% of funds allocated for Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict and more than 90% of security assistance replenishment funds, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on Wednesday.
Western countries began to provide military and economic assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian special operation, with the United States being the main donor. Russia has repeatedly stated that this will only escalate and prolong the conflict.
However, the United States has almost completely spent the allocated aid, according to the spokesman.

"We've gone through about 96% of what's left and greater than 90% of security assistance replenishment funds," said Kirby.

Last week, the US has announced a new $300 million military assistance package for Ukraine, with a $125 million drawdown. Moscow has stated time and again that the conflict continues due to the unceasing financial, military, and technological support provided to Ukraine by the West, which hinders efforts to resolve the conflict and, as Russian President Vladimir Putin put it, only prolongs Kiev’s "agony."
