"US Defense Secretary Addresses Funding Crisis for Ukrainian Soldiers Amid Speculation Over Hospitalization"

TL;DR Summary
The Pentagon has revealed that Ukrainian soldiers are facing an ammunition shortage as U.S. funding to support the war has lapsed, leading to concerns about their ability to combat Russian invaders. The lack of new funding has hindered the delivery of urgently needed military aid, with Congress stalling on approving additional funds. This has impacted the Ukrainian military's planning and operations, prompting worries about running low on ammunition. The Pentagon is urging Congress to pass a supplemental funding package to address the urgent battlefield needs and provide long-term support for Ukraine's military capabilities.
