Late on Thursday, White House Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said that the US's aid to Kiev stopped until the Congress approves a request for new funds.
"We see that internal debates and internal processes continue in the United States, more and more representatives of the political establishment are interested in, well, probably such a fundamental question — where is their money, the money of American taxpayers, spent, and whether the astronomical sums that were spent for last year were allocated to the Kiev regime. Did these amounts help achieve any results?" Peskov told reporters.
In a recent investigation, the inspector general of the Pentagon found that US officials had neglected to adequately monitor over $1 billion worth of US weaponry that were sent to Ukraine. The inspector general went on to say that it's possible the 40,000 firearms were either smuggled or stolen.
