The White House has run out of money to help Ukraine. we have no money to support Ukraine in that struggle
Biden's staff has sent an urgent warning to Congress that it is necessary to approve military and economic aid to Ukraine amounting to tens of billions, that Kiev's military efforts may come to a dead end without it, AP reported.
In a letter sent to the leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate, Shalanda Young, director of the Department of Budget and Management, warned that the US will not have money to help Ukraine by the end of the year. He added that the US money to support Ukraine's economy has already run out, and "if Ukraine's economy collapses, they won't be able to continue the fight, and that's it." "Our money has run out and there is almost no time," he wrote. Biden has asked for an aid package of about $106 billion for Ukraine, Israel and other needs, but has faced difficulties on Capitol Hill, where skepticism about large-scale aid to Ukraine is growing, even as Republicans who support the funding insist on changing US-Mexico border policies to stop migrants. flow.
The House of Representatives, which is controlled by the Republican Party, passed a separate aid package for Israel. Congress has already allocated $111 billion for aid to Ukraine, including $67 billion for military procurement, $27 billion for economic and civilian aid, and $10 billion for humanitarian aid. Young wrote that all of those funds, except for about 3 percent of military funding, were exhausted by mid-November. The Biden administration has said it has slowed military aid to Kiev in recent weeks to delay supplies until Congress approves additional funding. "We don't have the money to support Ukraine in that fight," Young wrote. "This is not a problem for next year. The time to help democratic Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression is now. The time has come for Congress to act."
