White House letter to Congress: We are running out of money to help Ukraine

According to the Fars News International Group, White House Budget Director Shalanda Young said in a letter to the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives and other congressional leaders that the time and money of the United States to help Ukraine in The war with Russia is coming to an end.

According to Reuters, US President Joe Biden asked Congress in October for about $106 billion to fund ambitious plans for Ukraine, Israel and US border security.

Republicans hold a slim majority in the US House of Representatives, and financing Ukraine has become politically controversial for some right-wing lawmakers.

Young said in a letter released by the White House that cutting off funding and the flow of arms would increase the likelihood of a Russian victory. He said: “We want to make it clear that without the action of Congress, by the end of the year, our resources to provide more weapons and equipment to Ukraine and to provide equipment from the United States military reserves will be exhausted.” He added: “The magic pot of budget is not available for this moment.” We’re out of money–and almost out of time.

In the midst of the growing opposition of some Republicans in the House of Representatives to Biden’s plan to provide an aid package to Ukraine, his administration tried to highlight the material benefits of American arms aid to Ukraine for different states of this country. An action that is aimed at convincing the Republicans to get their agreement to continue and grant more aid to Ukraine. Biden, the president of the United States of America, has been published in the three Republican states of Texas, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, which shows that Biden has made these large investments in order to produce more weapons in these states in order to send aid to Ukraine.

The White House’s proposed $106 billion package, which includes $61 billion in aid to Ukraine, has faced strong opposition from extreme Republicans in the House of Representatives who are close to former President Donald Trump. .

Although the Senate announced the vote on the bill proposed by the Biden administration today, Monday, December 4, some Republican officials said that the review and approval process It will not be done earlier than 2024.
