The Russian Federation spent $ 211 billion in Ukraine - Pentagon

According to an unnamed official, the abolition of the sale of Russian weapons cost the aggressor country $ 10 billion. The Russian Federation probably spent up to $ 211 billion to equip, deploy and support a full -scale war in Ukraine. This was reported by Reuters, citing a statement by a high -ranking US defense official on Friday, February 16.

"Russia's detailed expenses for its almost two -year invasion appear when the Presidential Administration Joe Baiden is trying to push the House of Representatives of the United States to approve the package of international assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan of $ 95 billion," the publication said. In addition, according to the publication, the Kremlin lost $ 10 billion due to the abolition of its weapon.

"I do not think that we have talked so much about the expenses that Russia has already incurred and continues to bear," the official on the conditions of anonymity told reporters. The war cost Russia $ 1. 3 trillion before the expected economic growth by 2026, and approximately 315,000 Russian servicemen were killed or injured, the official added. On February 13, the US Senate supported the allocation of a package from $ 60 billion in Ukraine.

Senators from democratic and, partly, republican parties have united to support the allocation of finances to support Kiev. In total, $ 90 billion aid is also provided for Israel and Taiwan. The selection of the relevant package was supported by 69 officials, and they voted against 29 people. Earlier, Joe Biden proposed to allocate $ 101 billion. from the US budget to help three partner countries, as well as to increase safety at the border.

The decisions were blocked at the level of the House of Representatives - senators from the Republican Party opposed. The lock of the allocation takes more than four months. Republican senators first stated that they were not clear where they would be spent on Ukraine. However, the new chairman of the Lower House of Congress, Republican Mike Johnson stated that he did not mind the allocation of money and even believed that the Armed Forces were "wearing handcuffs".

However, he noted that the main problem of the United States is to make changes to migration legislation, this problem should be solved first. 45 US President Donald Trump has stated that migration law proposals were ridiculous. He is also convinced that he will end the Russian-Ukrainian war for several hours.

Meanwhile, Pentagon Lloyd Austin, a contact group on the help of Ukraine, Ramstein-18, said that the only help that the US can now allocate is the training of the Ukrainian military, and there is nothing else. On February 10, a new proposal was received to the Senate, according to which they planned to separate financial assistance from migration legislation. As a justification, it was indicated that money was especially needed by Ukraine, where they appointed a new commander -in -chief.
