The Biden administration is weighing utilizing around $200 million from US Army funds to give Ukraine immediate "security assistance" as attempts to approve new funding in Congress are hindered, Bloomberg cited sources today.

Noting that a final decision has not been reached yet, the report added that this funding would be utilized for vital weapons, supplies, and other equipment.

A spokesman for the US Defense Department informed Sputnik on Wednesday that they were aware of reports suggesting the Biden administration is thinking of utilizing US Army cash to give Ukraine emergency assistance, but they could not comment further at this time.

"We’ve seen the report but have nothing to offer on this," the spokesperson said.

US Senate advanced $95Bln Ukraine, "Israel" military aid Bill

The US Senate approved a $95 billion supplemental military aid package for "Israel,"  Ukraine, and Taiwan on February 8, after members rejected a version of the bill that included border and immigration policy changes.

Senators voted 67-32 in favor of invoking cloture on a motion to move the measure to the legislative vehicle, with 60 votes necessary to advance it.

The $95 billion version approved on February 8 contained over $60 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for "Israel."

US lawmakers voted on February 6 to reject a standalone "Israel" aid bill denounced by critics as a "cynical" bid to thwart a cross-party border security and foreign assistance package that would include cash for Ukraine.

Republicans in the House of Representatives scheduled the vote after the Democratic-led Senate released a bipartisan bill on February 4 linking billions of dollars for the Israeli occupation entity and Ukraine with some of the strictest immigration curbs in decades.

On February 7, the Senate voted down a bigger $118 billion supplemental funding plan that covered border and immigration policies as well as international aid and national security funds.
