US rushes to supply Ukraine with $ 60 billion in aid before Biden’s presidential term ends

The US Presidential Administration is working to send the remaining funding for Ukraine aid after the current fiscal year ends, ensuring that the total amount is delivered before the end of Joe Biden’s presidential term, claimed Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh, according to Ukrinform.

The official explained that the administration aims to send Ukraine all the aid approved by Congress in May, which amounts to over $60 billion.

“I don’t have any official announcements on this matter yet, but I can tell you that we are striving to ensure that Ukraine receives the aid approved by Congress by the end of the president’s term (Joe Biden – ed.).

We are working with interagency structures to make this happen,” Singh said.

In response to lawmakers’ criticism regarding the slow use of funds for Ukraine’s support, Singh reminded that for six months, while Congress approved the new package, the Pentagon lacked funds to replenish its stockpiles.

“So, when you can’t replenish and restore your reserves, you can’t allocate aid packages,” the official explained.

Previously, Reuters reported that the US Congress and the Biden administration were nearing an agreement to seek a one-year extension of $6 billion in military aid for Ukraine that is set to expire at the end of September.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, Congress has approved nearly $175 billion in aid and military assistance for Ukraine and allied nations. Much of this funding has been allocated for long-term US defense production to replace equipment sent to Kyiv.
