🇺🇲🇺🇦 Aid to Ukraine could be cut if the United States adopts a one-year temporary resolution instead of a full-fledged military budget, the Politico newspaper writes, citing a letter from the Pentagon to lawmakers.
The military budget must be voted on by 16 December. But it may turn out to be short-term - such a measure is periodically resorted to if there is no consensus in Congress on this type of spending.
The fact that this may affect the budget of the Pentagon, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
If the initiative is approved, the US military will lose $29 billion, or 3.7%. That will force a cut in aid to Ukraine, as well as a halt in purchases of the new B-21 Raider bomber, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned in a letter seen by Politico.
