US Delaying Weapons Shipments to the Ukraine

You would expect to see this if the State Department was planning on scaling back the war after the election.

Weapons stockpile shortages will likely force Washington to delay shipments of promised military aid to Ukraine, CNN reported on Friday, citing two US officials familiar with the matter.

The report comes as Kiev has been asking its foreign backers to speed up the delivery of arms and to lift the restrictions on the use of long-range missiles for strikes deep into Russian territory.

According to the Pentagon, the US has $5.9 billion left in the special congressionally approved mechanism (PDA) aimed at fast-tracking aid for Kiev. However, the aid packages have been growing smaller as the weapons stocks dwindle, CNN said.

The currently available PDA is set to expire within the next two weeks since the House of Representatives failed to pass an extension on Wednesday. The White House may be forced to change its approach, “announcing large military aid packages that will take months to deliver,” as opposed to smaller shipments, the channel said.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal said Western officials warned Kiev that “a full Ukrainian victory” would require immense resources that neither the US nor Europe can provide.

I don’t really think I believe the State Department is going to scale back this war after the election. A lot of people are saying that, and this would indicate that, but it’s also possible that they’re just really out of material.
