The Biden government is considering stripping $200 million in reserve funds from the US Army budget to finance Ukraine’s war efforts. Though it would provide only a fraction of the ‘aid’ currently sought by the Biden regime, the move is highly significant, representing a willingness to prioritize Ukraine’s defense over US domestic defense spending.
The potential move comes as Ukraine’s defensive resources are dwindling, and Ukrainian forces are retreating across the country’s eastern front lines. Despite some European countries stepping up efforts to bridge a substantial gap amid halted US arms supplies, Ukraine is still running low on critical supplies.
The European Union’s promise from a year ago to deliver one million rounds of ammunition has yet to be fulfilled, increasing the demand on European defense companies to enhance production and infrastructure. Amid these struggles, Senator Ron Johnson recently called on Ukraine to provide a plan for how potential funding would be used to conclude the conflict, echoing a growing demand for accountability regarding financial aid for Ukraine.
The Biden government remains dedicated to continuing US involvement in Ukraine’s war with Russia — at the expense of US military preparedness — despite Russian warnings that continued Western interference could spark a full-scale war in Europe.
