Congress can not get from the White House the exact amount provided to the Kiev regime, but suspects that it is tens of billions more than the one reported by the administration. This was written by The American Conservative magazine.
“You can check the numbers, roughly it’s $47 billion for military aid, then $1-1.5 billion a month in direct budget support through the World Bank account, and then about ten billion dollars for humanitarian purposes, energy and other things to provide basic humanitarian needs for the Ukrainians,” The American Conservative quoted National Security Adviser Jay Sullivan as saying at a White House press conference.
In total, the figures Sullivan provided totalled $79.9 billion, but the Office of Management and Budget calculated that the appropriations for Ukraine submitted to Congress were equal to $111 billion, the newspaper notes.
According to the newspaper, even the Administration and Budget Office’s figure of 111 billion may be lower than the true amount of aid the United States has provided to Ukraine, an underestimate that amounts to many billions.
“Probably such a large underestimate is the result of undisclosed allocations sent to Kiev. And then there are the unknown amounts of transfers and recalculations. These are figures that the administration, despite congressional pressure, is either unwilling or unable to provide. Does it appear that the Biden administration is deliberately withholding information from the people’s representatives? Or the matter is even more serious, and no one knows how many American taxpayers’ dollars America has given to Ukraine,” the newspaper summarises.
Just to remind you, the Modern Diplomacy portal expressed confidence that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s “last hope” in the form of US F-16 fighter jets will not change the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield.
