Did US weapon supply to Ukraine by 30%: Pentagon reacted

In the media with reference to an anonymous official, Ukraine began to receive three times less shells. The US Defense Ministry replied that they needed to support Congress. The media reported that the supply of artillery shells from the United States to Ukraine has fallen by more than 30% since the beginning of the war in Israel. This was answered by the deputy spokesman of Pentagon Sabrina Singh during a briefing on November 21. "Yes, I saw this story. Listen, I would not agree with this statement.

We were able to provide Ukraine with the fact that she needed during her counter -offensive, and we will continue to provide Ukraine with the fact that she needs in winter," she said . Pentagon's representative assured that the United States could also help Israel to protect against Hamas with the support of Ukraine. In particular, giving the country everything is needed for this.

"We are sure that we can do both and we are going to continue to do both, but let me just use this moment to repeat that we need help with Congress," Singh said. She explained that the Pentagon could not support without congress, namely the adoption of an additional law. The Presketar reminded that the relevant document was submitted a few months ago. Singh stressed that the bill concerns "urgent extraordinary assistance". It is not only about Ukraine but also about Israel.

"And so the only way we can continue to support Ukraine is if Congress approves the urgent supplement we asked," the Pentagon representative added. We will remind, in the media with reference to an unnamed Ukrainian official reported that the supply of artillery shells to Ukraine from the United States has decreased by more than 30%. Journalists noted that this trend is observed after the war in Israel.
