US defense secretary Lloyd Austin makes unannounced visit to Ukraine
US defense secretary Lloyd Austin visits Kyiv to support Ukraine amidst stretched US resources due to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Ukraine still requires more military aid despite receiving over $44 billion from the US and $35 billion from other allies. The Pentagon has limited funds left in this year’s budget to send weapons to Ukraine. Congress has not passed a new budget or supplemental spending package, delaying additional aid.
