But this was also facilitated by “internal debate about escalation risks in relations with Russia, as well as anxiety about whether US arms reserves are sufficient,” the publication says.
In addition, the situation was complicated by the “chaotic weapons tracking system” of the United States, where even the fact of delivery of weapons to Ukraine was determined by various agencies differently, Reuters writes.
More than 40 Ukrainian and American agency interlocutors claim that delays in weapons supply to Ukraine continued after Congress approved in April 2024 for military assistance.
The Reuters calculations show that from April to September 2024, Baiden’s administration sanctioned an average of about $ 558 million in military assistance to Ukraine.
After Donald Trump’s victory, this number has increased sharply in the election – to $ 1.1 billion, but it, as the agency’s calculations show, are only equal to the average monthly period during the first two years of a full -scale war.
Four sources of Reuters claim that by November 2024, only about half of the cost of military assistance from the total amount that the United States was promised to allocate in 2024 from the army.
Among other things, by the beginning of December 2024, Ukraine received only about 30% of the promised American armored vehicles, the agency writes.
The anonymous former Baiden’s high -ranking official denied Reuters that the United States had assisted Ukraine too slowly or dosed. He stated that without the support of Washington, Russia could capture even more Ukrainian territory.
At the same time, Trump was selected by Special Representative for Russia and Ukraine, Kit Kellogo criticized Biden’s approach to providing assistance that was “not in the right number.”
“Their (weapons. – ed.) There was no time. The Baiden administration was afraid of escalation. I am convinced that the great states are not afraid of escalation,” Kelloga said.
It should be noted that US President Donald Trump has not previously excluded the possibility of purchasing US weapons for Ukraine for money received from frozen Russian assets.
