There is about $ 100m left in funding for the Presidential Drawdown Authority program, according to which the United States supplies weapons to Ukraine.

CNN informs that the Pentagon Press Secretary, John Kirby, reported this.

He said combining Friday's $ 150m package and the remaining $ 100m, the United States could continue providing military assistance to Ukraine within the Presidential Drawdown Authority program "until about the third week of the current month."

"We think that we will be able to go through the most of this month with what we have left, it will help us with future packages, but that is why we urge Congress to act quickly," - said John Kirby.

US President Joe Biden has asked Congress to approve a $ 33bn additional aid package to continue providing humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine.

Today, US President Joe Biden signed a land lease act, which opens up additional opportunities for military assistance to Ukraine.
