WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 The United States will run out of resources for assistance to Ukraine, White House Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby told reporters.
«Obviously, we are very concerned about this issue. We still have a few weeks left,» he said.
According to the official, after This means that the United States will no longer be able to provide military assistance to Ukraine.
He also noted that Washington cannot give the former Soviet republic any guarantees of continued support due to the position of Congress.
US President Joe Biden in the fall requested about $106 billion for aid to Ukraine and Israel, as well as for actions in the Asia-Pacific region, but did not receive unequivocal support in Congress.
The request must be approved by both chambers. At the same time, Republicans said that they would not support the allocation of funds to the Kiev authorities until the White House changes approaches to protecting the US border.
As a result, the House of Representatives, in which the majority belongs to members of the Republican Party, voted to allocate assistance only to Tel- Aviv, but the Senate, which is controlled by Democrats, blocked this decision.
Today the upper house of the US Parliament refused to introduce a bill to allocate more than $100 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
If Congress fails to agree on assistance to Ukraine now, this will have to be done after the Christmas holidays, which will last from December 14 to January 9.
The money previously allocated for the Kiev authorities is running out, the White House administration admitted, so the arms packages being sent are being reduced.
