Will Washington Ever Fund Ukraine Again?
08:02 18.11.2023 (Updated: 18:03 18.11.2023) On Thursday, US President Joe Biden signed a funding bill, which didn't include any supplemental aid for Kiev.
The US decision to provide Ukraine with a new military aid package may be made next month at the earliest, the US news agency Bloomberg reported.
"New US aid for Ukraine risks slipping to mid-December and maybe longer, casting doubt on Washington’s ability to keep up the flow of weapons that both the Biden administration and the Ukrainian government say is vital," the media outlet pointed out.
According to the media, a Pentagon spokeswoman as saying that America had already begun restricting the flow of military aid to Kiev "because of the wait."
According to Bloomberg, Republican infighting may push congressional consideration of new Ukraine aid into the new year, though White House national security spokesman John Kirby earlier warned that the US is "near the end of the road" in terms of resources available for Ukraine.
"It’s an active battlefront and our ability to continue to support Ukraine is increasingly at jeopardy," Kirby stated.
The US news outlet's report comes after the threat of a
US government shutdown was narrowly averted on Thursday when President Joe Biden signed another stopgap spending bill into law just before the funding deadline on November 17.
"They're going to have to learn how to shoot more accurately if they want to keep shooting at the Russians. They obviously are incapable of that," he stated, in an apparent reference to the Ukrainian armed forces.
According to him, neither the US nor Europe can produce enough to supply Ukraine without having to rebuild their own industries.
"They burn through ordnance faster than I've seen anything like it. And under peacetime conditions, neither the United States nor the Europeans collectively can produce it fast enough to supply them without reverting their own industries to full wartime production. And the American people won't settle for that," the analyst added.
Earlier this month, Kirby, for his part, said that the US had already gone through nearly 96% of the funds allocated to the
Kiev regime since the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. "We've gone through about 96% of what's left and greater than 90% of security assistance replenishment funds," Kirby told reporters.
The stopgap spending bill, signed on Thursday, provides funding for military construction, veterans affairs, transportation, housing and more, but not for financial aid to Ukraine.
Western countries have been providing military and economic aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian special operation, with the US being the main
donor. Russia has repeatedly stated that this will only escalate and prolong the Ukrainian conflict.
