US funds for Ukraine are 96% depleted, says White House
The US has gone through 96% of the funds that it has currently allocated for Ukraine, national security council spokesperson John Kirby has told reporters.
The US believes that Ukraine can win back its territory, Kirby said, but acknowledged that progress had been slow, Reuters reports.
Some Republicans in the US have become sceptical about further funding for Ukraine’s war effort. The US president, Joe Biden, has urged Congress to pass a $106bn supplemental spending bill for military spending.
