As the newspaper notes, Congress approved the provision of weapons and other military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $6.3 billion NEW YORK, August 25.

/tass/. The US authorities intend to provide approximately $1.5 billion in military assistance to Ukraine by the end of the fiscal year (ends September 30), this is the remaining part of the amount approved by the US Congress. This was reported on Thursday night by the newspaper Politico, citing sources.

According to the publication, the US Congress approved the provision of weapons and other military assistance to Kiev in the amount of $ 6.3 billion. The newspaper studied the Pentagon's documentation and found out that only $1.8 billion of these funds were used as of August 1. After the announcement by US President Joe Biden on Wednesday about the provision of a $2.98 billion military aid package to Kiev, the United States remains to allocate about $1.5 billion. "The Pentagon will transfer the remaining aid under numerous contracts at the end of the fiscal year," the newspaper writes.

$6 billion is included in a larger package worth $40 billion, which involves not only the allocation of funds for military, but also for economic and humanitarian assistance to Kiev. In addition, the bill included a provision on assistance to the Baltic states, as the newspaper writes, to "replenish their arsenals." By the end of the month, the State Department is expected to send Congress a $150 million spending plan to strengthen the security of the Baltic countries, an unnamed European official told the newspaper. In this situation, as in the case of Ukraine, the United States uses funds to fulfill contracts for the production of weapons for its allies.
