"US Army Faces Pressure Over Ukraine Support as Bipartisan Aid Bills Unveiled"

TL;DR Summary
The US Army has spent over $430 million to support Ukraine's war effort against Russia since October 2023, with concerns rising about the need for new funding as Congress debates a foreign aid bill. Without additional funding, the Army may have to divert money from critical projects to continue supporting Ukraine, impacting operations not just related to Ukraine but elsewhere in Europe and Africa. The lack of a 2024 budget and supplemental request is also affecting the Pentagon's ability to modernize and poses broader national security risks.
