The Pentagon has also warned U.S. Congress that it is running low on money to replace the arms the U.S. has sent to Ukraine and has been forced to slow down the resupplying of some American troops, the Associated Press reported.
Ukraine aid funding has become a focal point of a legislative fight among U.S. lawmakers, which resulted in the ousting of Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Oct. 3.
Kyiv's allies are running out of ammunition stockpiles they can supply to Ukraine, Chair of the NATO Military Committee Admiral Rob Bauer said at the Warsaw Security Forum on Oct. 3, CNN reported.
"The bottom of the barrel is now visible," the official said.
"We need the industry to ramp up production in a much higher tempo."
According to The Telegraph, the U.K. has already run out of weapons equipment it can donate to Ukraine. A senior British military official cited by the news outlet urged other countries to step up their support instead.
In December 2022, for example, she has reportedly spent 40,000 euros during her trip to Paris coinciding with her husband asking for more financial support from the United States and the European Union.

We never should have send a dime for this. Stop the funding and let the chips fall where they may. Then deal with whatever is next. This is useless.

FYI, Zelensky was worth an estimated 20 Million Dollars before Russia invaded, mostly because he had a popular TV show for a number of years. For comparison, Donald Trump made an estimated 200 Million Dollars off The Apprentice.
Both of their wives have probably been shopping at Cartier for years.

The Bidens earned $11 million in 2017 and $4.6 million in 2018, a big boost from the $396,000 salary they had earned in 2016.

Who cares where Mrs Zelensky chooses to spend her money, why even mention it. At a guess your wife would do the same if she had their wealth. You can bet many other wives have spent a lot more than that in some fancy shop. Good on her.

You make a lot of assumptions. These people were independently wealthy prior to the horror caused by Russia. You can be certain your politicians don't personally pay, when they are blowing people up.

"Independently wealthy"? How much do stand up comedians make in Ukraine?
