A looming cut to Pentagon appropriations could throw a wrench in U.S. military aid to Ukraine, including artillery and ammunition, Politico magazine reported on Dec. 3, citing Department of Defense internal documents and officials familiar with the matter, the RT website reports today (Dec. 5, 2022).
Michael McCord, the Pentagon's chief financial officer, was quoted as saying on Dec. 3 that the U.S. would have problems sending new munitions to Ukraine as the funds marked by Kiev would run out in spring.
The slash in spending could also delay improvements in several major weapon systems , such as the M777 howitzer, which are being supplied by the U.S. to Ukrainian troops.
