In 2023, the White House urged Congress for aid in supporting Ukraine s struggle against Russia, claiming funds had depleted. President Biden announced a $200 million military aid package despite earlier assertions of insufficient resources. The situation is complex due to different funding programs for Ukraine, with one pot empty and another overstated by $6.2 billion, leaving $4.4 billion as "store credit." Smaller aid packages have been announced, raising concerns about available weaponry. With diminishing funds, the US faces challenges in replacing weaponry for its own defense.
Call it a military aid with benefits, but the US has found a shrewd way to support Ukraine while simultaneously giving its defense industry a hearty pat on the back.
The US House of Representatives plans to consider a separate bill this week to provide assistance to Israel amid its ongoing armed conflict with Hamas, House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Sunday.
