The United States stated that given the difficulties in adopting a new budget, it only had resources for urgent assistance to Ukraine.
“We have sufficient resources to meet Ukraine’s most pressing battlefield needs for now, but this is not a long-term option,” White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said at a briefing.
She explained that the Pentagon can provide accurate information on the amount of money transferred from US arsenals to Ukraine through the PDA (Presidential Drawdown Authority) mechanism.
She also announced that the US government would soon provide a new aid package to Ukraine.
Temporary US budget without money to help Ukraine
It was previously reported that the absence of a provision on support for Ukraine in the transition budget adopted in the US, aimed at preventing a government shutdown and halting the work of federal institutions, has become a topic of discussion in American political circles.
US President Joe Biden expressed hope that Congress would hold a separate vote on financial aid to Ukraine. Mitch McConnell, the Republican minority leader in the Senate, also spoke in favor of further support for Kiev.
According to Politico, the Biden administration is talking to Ukrainian leaders about potentially making future aid conditional on “reforms aimed at fighting corruption and making Ukraine more attractive to private investment.”
US officials are said to be more concerned about the level of corruption in Ukraine than they say publicly. They believe that the problem of high-level corruption in Ukraine could undermine confidence in Kiev among both Ukrainian citizens and foreign leaders and prompt them to limit or even halt further aid to Ukraine in defending against a Russian invasion to put.
