The Biden administration is working on a plan to extend its authority to send $5.9 billion worth of weapons and equipment to Ukraine before the funding expires at the end of September. This authority allows the Pentagon to quickly transfer weapons from its own stocks, which are then replenished with funds. The administration aims to use the remaining assistance over the next few months, although it can’t provide new types of equipment. Pentagon officials believe deliveries can continue beyond the fiscal year if done promptly. The Biden administration is also seeking congressional approval to carry over unused funds to next year, crucial for sustaining military aid to Ukraine.
