US Weighs Tapping Army Funds for Ukraine as Aid Bill Stalls
- Move would target roughly $200 million in reserve funds
- Biden’s $61 billion request remains tied up in Congress
The Biden administration is weighing whether it can tap around $200 million in US Army funding to provide Ukraine immediate support as a larger aid package remains stalled in Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.
The funding could be used to pay for critical weapons, supplies, and other equipment as Ukraine faces an artillery shortage, and comes as Russian forces have made small territorial advances in recent weeks.
