The White House National Security Spokesperson says that some munitions in Ukraine's stockpiles will last for the next few months, and other types will be exhausted earlier.

Earlier today, White House National Security Spokesperson John Kirby reported that Ukraine is depleting its weapon stockpiles: noting that some munitions will last for the next few months, and other types will be exhausted earlier. 

"I mean, there are some, there are some munitions that they have ample stores of, enough to get them into, you know, the next couple to three months. There are others where they don't have that kind of time," said Kirby during a White House press briefing.

Earlier this week, White House National Security Spokesperson John Kirby announced that all military aid to Ukraine has been suspended. 

“We have issued the last drawdown package that we had funding to support, and that’s why it’s critical that Congress move on that national security supplemental request,” Kirby said, noting that US military support for Ukraine has "ground to a halt."

Earlier, White House and Senate negotiators revealed that they were on the verge of finalizing a comprehensive deal for a supplemental bill aimed at funding aid to Ukraine and US national security measures, including enhanced border security.

"We are very close, we're dealing with the last one or two items, but we're working productively with a shared focus on getting to an agreement," Senator Kyrsten Sinema stated in an exclusive interview for local news broadcaster KGUN 9.

Sinema revealed that she anticipates a draft text of the bill to be available for other lawmakers to review shortly. This development comes amid mounting concerns over the urgency of providing aid to Ukraine and "Israel", two key US allies.

Ukraine's frustration with its funders 

Meanwhile,  Congress is still inherently divided, and the European Union still debates its direction and the mobilization of all its capabilities, especially as Ukraine has not met military expectations despite a large abundance of funds. 

Josep Borrell warned against a victorious Russia, saying, "And if we don't change course rapidly if we don't mobilize all our capacities, it will let [Russian President Vladimir] Putin win the war in Ukraine."

"The important thing is what we can do in order to avoid Russia winning the war. What are we ready to do? Are we really ready to do everything it takes? This is the question that we have to put ourselves," Borrell was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba slammed the current Western reality in the context of the war, saying, "Europe doesn’t know how to fight wars. Unfortunately, our friends spent too much time deliberating on how and when to ramp up their production of weapons and ammunition."
