[ワシントン 12日 ロイター] – The Biden administration announced on the 12th that it will provide new military aid worth $300 million to Ukraine. This will be the first time in several months that the United States will provide aid to Ukraine, as the opposition Republican Party is blocking a vote on a bill that would include support for Ukraine in the U.S. Congress.
National Security Advisor Sullivan said the money will come from unexpected cost savings from a Pentagon contract and will be used to pay for things such as shells for the Heimas high-mobility rocket artillery system.
However, he said the aid would only help Ukraine for two to three weeks and was “completely inadequate to meet Ukraine’s needs on the battlefield.”
Prior to this, sources said that the funds for the new aid package were refunded to the US Department of Defense through the return of munitions and vehicles that the US Army had purchased in large quantities to replenish the inventory that had been reduced due to donations to Ukraine. It was announced that the funds would be allocated.
Pentagon spokesman Mike Ryder said the delivery of weapons to Ukraine through savings from Pentagon contracts would likely be a one-time deal and was not sustainable.
