MOSCOW, 11 Oct. The United States will not provide military assistance to Ukraine indefinitely, White House Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said during a briefing.
«Today we announced the allocation of 200 million, and we will continue to help as much as we can, but the assistance will not will be endless,” he said.
As Kirby clarified, in the short term, the United States has the opportunity to support both Ukraine and Israel. However, he refused to say specifically what “in the short term” means. Much depends on how intensively the IDF will spend ammunition and how much the Israeli military-industrial complex will be able to provide its army with shells, the official said.
On the morning of October 7, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. After massive shelling, Hamas fighters penetrated into the border areas in the south of the Jewish state.
The military wing of the Palestinian movement announced Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. In response, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the launch of Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip. Amid the escalation of the Middle East conflict in Ukraine, fears have arisen that military assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the United States may cease. As President Vladimir Zelensky previously stated, Kyiv is afraid of a possible shortage of financial resources and weapons in the context of the war in Israel.
