Kirby Says Will Be 'Really' Difficult to Support Kiev After End of Year Without New Funds
12:51 01.12.2023 (Updated: 12:52 01.12.2023) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The United States will find it “really” difficult to continue supplying Kiev with weapons for its conflict with Russia if Congress does not provide new funds for the administration by the end of the year, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on Thursday.
In the beginning of November, White House National Security Council spokesperson
John Kirby revealed that the US had gone through 96% of funds allocated for Ukraine.
“We think we've got till about the end of the year before it gets really, really hard to continue to support Ukraine, and the end of the year is coming soon” Kirby said during a press briefing.
Kirby reiterated the White House's call for Congress to approve its supplemental funding request, especially ahead of the winter months, which can become critical for Kiev.
In October, the White House announced that the funds approved by Congress for further military assistance to
Ukraine were almost exhausted, forcing it to continuously reduce the volume of aid packages for Kiev. Biden submitted a $106 billion supplemental request to Congress that includes $61 billion for Ukraine along with aid for Israel.
Earlier in November, the US House of Representatives passed a $14 billion Israel aid bill, separating the assistance from the broader request from the Biden administration for funds for Ukraine,
Taiwan and border security. Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer rejected the proposal, instead favoring a combined funding package.
