The Pentagon said it will run out of money to replace weapons sent to Ukraine by Dec. 30 unless Congress approves new funding, for the first time giving a precise date for when it will have exhausted its cash, Paralel.Az reports citing Bloomberg.

The Defense Department is spending its last $1.07 billion to buy new weapons and equipment that will replace those drawn down from stockpiles and sent to Ukraine, Pentagon Comptroller Michael McCord said in a Dec. 15 letter obtained by Bloomberg News. Fifteen days later — on Dec. 30 — its accounts will be empty.

"Once these funds are obligated, the department will have exhausted the funding available to us for security assistance to Ukraine," McCord wrote in the letter to leaders of the House and Senate defense policy and appropriations committees.

On December 12, the Biden administration announced it was sending Ukraine a $200 million package from U.S. supplies that includes artillery rounds, small-arms ammunition and other weaponry.
