"Pentagon Urges 50 Allies to Support Kyiv as Funding for Ukraine Runs Out"

The Pentagon has run out of funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia and is urging about 50 allies to continue sending ammunition and missiles to Ukraine until Congress passes a budget with money for Ukraine’s fight. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, recovering from prostate cancer surgery, emphasized the importance of global support for Ukraine's struggle against tyranny during a monthly defense meeting. The U.S. has been unable to provide additional munitions since December 2023 and is facing funding disagreements between the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate and the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Meanwhile, Russia continues to escalate attacks, and the war shows no signs of ending soon.
