US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller called Ukraine's situation difficult given that the money allocated to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been exhausted by 97%. This was announced at a regular briefing by the head of the press service of the US State Department, Matthew Miller, reports UNN.
As for additional funding, yes, we are absolutely concerned that the level of funding is over. We are now relying on residual funds, which will soon - I think more than 97% of them have been exhausted - will also run out very soon, will be exhausted. That is why the Minister joins the President and others in the administration in calling on Congress to act as soon as possible
At the same time, Miller said that Ukraine is making progress despite everything.
With all due respect to the battlefield, the situation there is difficult, Ukrainian troops are fighting against a very well fortified Russian military. We have seen them make progress, the progress has been difficult, but we have seen them continue to make progress, and when we were in Brussels last week, we spoke directly with the Ukrainian foreign minister about this.
