The White House has issued a blunt warning that the US will run out of funds to aid Ukraine by the end of the year, saying Russian battlefield gains were more likely unless Congress approved new money for Kyiv.
"Without congressional action, by the end of the year we will run out of resources to procure more weapons and equipment for Ukraine and to provide equipment from US military stocks," Young wrote to political leaders of both parties.
"There is no magical pot of funding available to meet this moment. We are out of money — and nearly out of time," she said.
Some lawmakers — especially in the Senate, where backing for Ukraine runs deeper — are trying to negotiate a bipartisan deal that would contain aid for Kyiv alongside new immigration and asylum procedures to reduce the number of undocumented people arriving in the US through its southern border.
Even if an agreement is reached in the Senate, however, it is unclear if it can pass the Republican-led House, whose new speaker Mike Johnson has been sceptical of funding for Ukraine.
