Politico: White House working on Plan B to extend military aid to Ukraine.

The Biden administration is preparing a plan to extend the delivery of American weapons and equipment to Ukraine worth $5.9 billion until the end of the funding at the end of the month.

This was reported by Politico.

These supplies, which are part of the assistance package to Ukraine adopted in April, allow the Pentagon to use its own reserves to quickly move weapons and equipment to Ukraine. After that, the funds are spent on replacing this equipment in American arsenals, but these powers end with the start of the new fiscal year on October 1.

Under the new US rules, they will not be able to introduce new types of weapons that were not in previous deliveries. If this option is implemented in a timely manner, 'supplies can continue after [the fiscal year] without problems,' said Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Charlie Dietz.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is in New York for the UN General Assembly and will meet with Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington on Thursday. It is expected that the Ukrainian leader will raise the issue of accelerating arms deliveries and lifting restrictions on the use of American and British long-range missiles within Russia.
