Summary
The Pentagon has a network of storage sites in the U.S. and Europe that already hold ammunition and air defense components. CIA Director warns that without additional aid from the U., Ukraine could lose the war to Russia by the end of this year. The Pentagon has had supplies ready to go for months but hasn’t moved them because it is out of money. It has already spent all of the funding Congress had previously provided to support Ukraine. President Obama has said he will sign the bill immediately. The bill would allow the U.S. to send weapons to Ukraine. The U.S. has already surged weapons to cut down on the amount of time it will take to deliver them once the funding is approved. The U.S. has massive weapons storage facilities in the U.K. for millions of rounds of all sizes. The U.S. would be able to send certain munitions “almost immediately” to Ukraine because storehouses exist in Europe. Tens of thousands of 155 mm rounds have been shipped back from South Korea to be retrofitted for Ukraine.
