⚡ White House: 96% of Ukraine aid already spent.
The U.S. has already spent 96% of the funds allocated for Ukraine since the beginning of the war, White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Nov. 8.
"If we count the total amount of funds that have been provided to Ukraine since the beginning of the war, which is more than $60 billion, not only security assistance, but also economic, financial assistance and humanitarian assistance, we used approximately 96% of what was left,” Kirby said.
Kirby stressed that despite headwinds, the Biden administration remained confident in Ukraine’s ability to reach its goals.
