The US are currently battling to raise the debt ceiling, so until that is solved don't expect much from the US. |
"At present, Washington still has around $5bn from the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) budget at its disposal; this sum does not have to be spent by the end of FY23 as it has been ‘recovered’ by the Department of Defence, officially as a result of the discovery of an accounting error in which on a number of occasions the value of arms and military equipment transferred to Ukraine was estimated based on replenishment costs rather than the actual value of the equipment transferred to Kyiv."
"The previously approved Congressional aid for Ukraine is already running out, and will only remain in place until the end of fiscal year 2023 (FY23), or 30 September this year."
Not sure how much they have left before September 30th wipes it out but I would assume it's a lot more than $325m. In addition they've requested another $24bn in aid already for after September 30th. My pathetic reaction is that yeah, it's a pitiful amount, especially on Zelenskyy's visit to the USA and it's also pathetic that ATACMS are still not being sent.
