"Pentagon Unable to Provide Maintenance for US Weapons in Ukraine, Defense Secretary Reveals"

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting that the US has run out of allocated funds for military aid to Ukraine, urging other nations to step up as the US is unable to supply Kyiv with the necessary missiles and ammunition. The lack of funding is due to a tug-of-war in Congress, stalling the proposed $60 billion aid package. This shortfall is likely to impact Ukraine's defense capabilities, with reports of ammunition shortages and the urgent need for air defense weapons to defend against Russian missile strikes.
