This was reported on November 27 in The Wall Street Journal with reference to Washington representatives and the American Congress. US officials have said that the White House remained more than 6. 5 billion dollars, which in the form of weapons and equipment from their own reserves of the US Defense Ministry can transfer to Ukraine. The Pentagon reached the weapon limit, which can be sent every month without reducing its own combat capacity.
However, material and technical problems arose in the supply process. In order to spend everything, Washington must send weapons to Kiev daily for more than $ 110 million. However, the source in Congress assured that it is simply impossible. The Pentagon said that the US is planning to supply Ukraine with its own reserves for $ 500-750 million a month. For the most part, these are ammunition and artillery, because they are easier to deliver. It takes months to transport heavy equipment.
Biden administration also has more than two billion dollars to finance long -term contracts. The unnamed Pentagon representative reported that the Americans would try to spend as much money as possible by January 20. In addition, Washington has less than five billion dollars, which Congress has allocated for the purchase of new weapons for the US arsenal. The administration seeks to use this money by the end of 2024.
