Pentagon is over the money for weapons for Ukraine - the media

The US defense department stated that they had already slowed down their weapons and this may have a bad effect on the country's combat capability. The Pentagon has appealed to the US Congress to increase funding for assistance to Ukraine, as otherwise supply problems are possible. About it writes Associated Press on October 2.

The letter of the financial controller of Pentagon Michael McCard states that the US defense department ends the replacement of weapons that have been transferred to Ukraine. McCard said that $ 1. 6 billion remained from $ 25. 9 billion, provided by Congress to replenish the US Army reserves. Approximately $ 5. 4 billion remained from the US weapons and equipment from their stocks, and the long -term funding for Kyiv was over.

"We have already been forced to slow down our own forces to insure against indefinite future financing. Inability to replenish our military forces in a timely manner can harm the municipality of our Armed Forces," Pentagon noted. According to the senior adviser to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Mark Kanzian, if assistance to Ukraine ceases to come, Ukrainians will begin to feel it before gratitude.

We will remind, on October 2, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Mykola Tokytsky stated that the bill on temporary financing of the US budget without the funds for assistance of Ukraine, which was approved by the US Congress, is not a tragedy.
