If the US government adopts a resolution on financing for one year instead of a full-fledged military budget, assistance to Ukraine may end in the spring.
Support for Ukraine may be reduced if the US authorities, instead of a full-fledged military budget, adopt a resolution on funding for a year, Lara Seligman writes in an article for Politico.
U.S. Department of Defense officials have compiled a list of serious consequences if the military, for the first time in history, has to act under a one-year temporary funding law, from aid to Ukraine to problems with the purchase of new B-21 bombers.
According to the publication, the resolution would cut $29 billion in Pentagon funding, or 3.7 percent, from President Joe Biden’s FY 2023 request.
It is specified that if Congress decides on temporary funding, this could stop military assistance for Ukraine in the spring. In addition, the modernization of the industrial base for several key systems, including the Abrams tank and the M777 towed howitzer (which the US is transferring to Ukraine), may be delayed.
