By the end of the year, the United States will end with financial assistance to Kiev if the Congress does not approve the request of the Presidential Administration Joe Biden to provide additional financing, said the director of the White House administrative and budgetary department of Shaland Young, Bloomberg reports .
“There is no magic pot with financing that would help to cope with this task. We have ended money, and there is almost no time, ”the agency quotes her. According to Shalanda Young, the refusal to coordinate the new support “will put Kyiv on the battle on the battlefield” and increase the likelihood of defeat of Ukraine. It is expected that the presidential administration this week will additionally inform about the consequences of the refusal to allocate financing by the end of 2023, the agency notes.
At the end of October, Bidden sent a request to the Congress to provide financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $ 61.4 billion, as well as $ 14.3 billion to strengthen Israel's defense. “Putin believes that Ukraine has never had the right to exist as a sovereign state and does not have this right now. Just two weeks ago, he stated that if the United States and their allies will stop assistance to Ukraine, then Ukraine will remain one week to exist, ”the US President said.
Although most American lawmakers advocate the support of Ukraine, the Congress has recently observed disagreements in matters of the volume of assistance to Kyiv. The White House and the Pentagon have repeatedly reported that the resources to support Ukraine are almost exhausted.
Problems on the provision of financial support to Ukraine are also observed in the European Union. On December 4, the Financial Times, referring to an unassumed high -ranking European official, said that a financial assistance package for € 50 billion, promised several months ago, has not yet been agreed and the EU countries are still far from reaching an agreement on this issue. Among the reasons for the current situation, the publication called the recent decision of the German court to restrict the borrowing of the German government, the strengthening of the ultra-right in the Netherlands and the position of Hungary, whose Prime Minister repeatedly opposed the provision of additional financing.
