“President Joe Biden’s top budget official warned Friday about the rapidly diminishing time that lawmakers have to replenish U.S. aid for Ukraine, as the fate of that money to Kyiv remains tied up in negotiations over immigration where a deal has so far been out of reach.
Shalanda Young, director of the Office of Management and Budget, stressed that there is no avenue to help Ukraine aside from the Congress approving additional funding to help Kyiv as it fends off Russia in a war that is now nearly two years old.
While the Pentagon has some limited authority to help Kyiv absent new funding from Capitol Hill, “that is not going to get big tranches of equipment into Ukraine,” Young said Friday.
While the administration still has presidential drawdown authority, which allows it to pull weapons from existing U.S. stockpiles and send them quickly to Ukraine, officials have decided to forgo that authority because Congress has not approved additional money to backfill that equipment — a move that Young said was a “very tough decision.”
The U.S. sent a $250 million weapons package to Ukraine late last month, which officials say was likely the last package because of the lack of funding”.
No shit. Pro Nazi members of our House of Representatives have been bought and paid for by the Kremlin. Please vote in all elections.
just print more money as always
That’s because in the US, a far right party of lunatics is only interested in making the US President look like a failure – F all else in their small-minded heads.
By supporting ukraine they are protecting western intrests. NATO was formed because of Russia and supporting ukraine helps put an end to that threat
Starting to look like the strategy of drip feeding Ukraine out of fear of what putin might do, is going to backfire.
Need endless money for endless war
If US citizens wants to support Ukraine so much, they can sign up as foreign fighters and actually fight, nothings stopping them.
President should make an executive decision bypass congress who are obstructions for Putin. Trump did so many executive orders 😡
The US wants a slow burn of Russia, not a decisive, quick defeat.
You don’t try and wrestle the bear directly, you wear it out first.
Guess funding Israel to destabilize millions of people and creating another migrant crisis instead of supporting Ukraine wasn’t such a good idea.
Good job, US.
Feels Russia is winning the long game.
They got US politicians fighting each other.
Iran screwing in the Middle East.
Israel on a warpath.
Feels like NK’s move next with announcement on no reconciliation with SK.
China is the trump card but that’s last, to deal with CDG with Taiwan.
US can’t fight everyone. Not with a fragment alliance squabbling over their own interest.
Meanwhile Biden says he doesn’t have enough funding to address the crisis at the border. Who should get to say how we spend money, the people or the corrupt politicians that are owned by Raytheon and Boeing?
Just budge on immigration already. So what if we end up spending more money and tightening quotas versus what Dems would prefer? Big fucking deal. Get that fixed later. There may not be a later for Ukraine.
Ukraine funding in the US is tied to securing the US border; that is just the reality unless Biden wants to bypass Congress.
