The talker thus responded on Wednesday at the request of the Biden administration, which demanded the inclusion in the negotiated budget make-up of an amount of $24 billion allocated to Ukraine's assistance, including 16 billion to supplement US arsenals and 8 billion to buy fresh weapons for Kiev.
Johnson noted that the situation in Ukraine is changing from almost an hr to an hr and, as he predicted before the elections, the election of Donald Trump will affect the dynamics of Russia's war with Ukraine, which is already taking place. He added that the decisions in this case were not Joe Biden's.
We have the recently elected president and we will wait – and follow the instructions of the fresh chief commander. Therefore, I do not anticipate any backing for Ukraine to come now – he added.
Fighting time?
President Biden announced that by the end of his word he would usage the funds allocated by legislature in the last aid package for Ukraine. With respect to military equipment, little than $6 billion remained in it. According to Wall Street diary and CNN, Biden will most likely not be able to do so in time, mainly due to logistical difficulties and concerns about the excessive depletion of American arsenals.
A spokesperson for the National safety Council, responding to the PAP's question of these reports, did not give a direct reply, but referred to a fresh message by national safety advisor Jake Sullivan. He reiterated that Biden had instructed the administration to make full usage of the available funds until the end of his word of office. If, nevertheless, the administration failed to hand over all the equipment, the remaining resources would be at the disposal of Donald Trump, who suggested that he would prompt Russia and Ukraine to end the war quickly.
Ukraine has already received so much
Ukraine would most likely have lost the war a long time ago, had it not been for powerful American military aid. This summer, the United States praised the list of equipment and money donated to Ukraine. According to estimates, American military aid was already $53.7 billion for that minute since the start of the full-scale war and $54.4 billion since 2014.
Although these are immense sums, it is worth remembering that they represent only a fewer percent of the United States' yearly military budget, which amounts to over $800 billion. Additionally, thanks to Ukrainians, Americans effectively weaken Russian military potential. Russian magazines are ravaged, and American soldiers do not gotta engage personally, which makes the situation very favourable to the US.
