This new Ukraine aid package will be funded with savings from a previous US Army contract for Ukraine weapons, the report added.
A US official told Politico that this is not an alternate path to replace the $95 billion supplemental package stuck in the House of Representatives.
The Kremlin has consistently warned against the West's continued arms deliveries to Ukraine, saying that they only prolong the conflict, adding that Western military equipment will be eventually destroyed. Moscow also cautioned that NATO countries “are playing with fire” by providing Kiev with arms.
