The potential U.S. federal government shutdown on Oct. 1 may complicate the delivery of aid packages to Ukraine, according to the State Department.
The US has pledged more than $100 billion in aid packages to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion of the country began last year.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, international partners have already provided Ukraine with military aid worth about US$100 billion, of which almost US$60 billion came from the US alone. Source: Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov in an interview with Ukrinform Quote: "If we calculate and evaluate all the aid packages today, I think we have already received about US$100 billion during the full-scale invasion.
The EU Foreign Affairs chief cited the number expected by EU states to contribute on an annual basis to Ukraine was more of a ceiling rather than a spending target.
Finnish President Sauli Niinistö decided on 25 August to provide Ukraine with an 18th military aid package, further to a proposal by the government.
