“The administration of US President Joe Biden will not have time to use the entire amount as part of the aid package for Ukraine approved by Congress in the spring of 2024. This was announced at a briefing on January 8 by Deputy Spokesperson of the US Defense Ministry Sabrina Singh, answering a question about how concerned the administration is about leaving a significant amount of money unused for aid to Ukraine. “There will be several billion dollars left over and the new administration will decide what it will do with those remaining funds. And, you know, I would like to answer the question, are we concerned. Ukraine has bipartisan support in Congress. And it is thanks to our efforts that Ukraine continues to be successful on the battlefield,” she said. Singh added that aid is provided to Ukraine with the support of the United States and other allied countries and coalitions through the Defense Contact Group of Ukraine (Ramstein format), and therefore the new administration of Donald Trump will decide whether to continue its work. “And I think it is quite clear that the Ukrainian Defense Contact Group is more than just a common understanding. This is a common cause. And so the new administration has to decide what it’s going to do with the powers that are left, and what it’s going to do with what’s left. But, of course, we hope that, you know, in a certain sense, the contact group on the defense of Ukraine will continue its work. But, of course, the support of Ukraine in the Congress remains strong,” said the deputy spokesperson of the head of the Pentagon. ”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
