The White House told Congress on Monday that unless Congress adopts its supplementary budget request, it would run out of money to give military help to Ukraine before the end of the year.

According to White House Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young, the US has just $1 billion remaining to replace its own stockpile due to frequent military shipments to Ukraine and Congress' unwillingness to approve extra financing.

The United States Senate faced a deadlock on Wednesday as lawmakers failed to advance a crucial supplemental funding bill worth over $100 billion.

The legislative impasse stems from an ongoing clash between Republican and Democrat lawmakers over the inclusion of "border security measures" in the proposed legislation.

When asked when the US financing for Ukraine will be depleted, Young told CBS that from a "budgetary standpoint, we have about a billion dollars left to replenish our own stockpile. So this comes down to a policy decision."

Young  pushed Congress to pass Biden's legislation, claiming that the bulk of help to Ukraine "stays at home," detailing how "Our defense industrial base gets the majority of this funding to build more equipment, weapons, ammunition, that means American jobs, good paying American jobs."

The White House told Congress on Monday that unless Congress adopts its supplementary budget request, it would run out of money to give military help to Ukraine before the end of the year.

Young wrote to Speaker Mike Johnson and other House leaders that as more equipment is sent to Ukraine, there is no "magical pot of funding" to address the need. "We are out of money - and nearly out of time."

Young stated that, despite help from friends, US backing "cannot be replicated by others," and that abandoning it would increase the likelihood of a Russian triumph. She also stated that it aided the domestic defense industry base and US military readiness.

It is worth mentioning that the US military supplies have come under immense pressure, as Washington backs Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. Although "Israel" has depended on a variety of US-made air-dropped bombs, which Ukraine is incapable of utilizing, the occupation has run through supplies of surface-to-air missiles and 155 mm artillery shells, both of which have been essential for the operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
