Pentagon unlikely to use all of the billions Congress authorized it to spend on Ukraine weapons before Biden leaves office, officials say

CNN  

CNN — The Pentagon is unlikely to use all of the billions of dollars authorized by Congress to arm Ukraine before President Joe Biden leaves office, according to two US officials and three defense officials. In the time the administration has left, one defense official said the size of the individual military aid packages is likely to increase but acknowledged using the remaining funds within such a short time is “going to be a challenge.” US official says Ukraine should lower recruiting age to 18 Earlier Wednesday, a senior Biden administration official said Ukraine should lower the recruiting age for its military to 18 years old from where it currently stands at 25, calling the need “critical.” The official argued that the most urgent need is not weapons but fresh manpower to train so that current troops can be rotated out and those who have been killed can be replaced. You need soldiers.” The US has been able to authorize military aid packages totaling approximately $750 million per month recently, according to one US official. The Biden administration has continued to announce military aid packages twice a month, but the US is still far short of the pace required to use the remaining money.
