Ukraine currently lacks military support from the United States under the current budget programs. Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Oksana Markarova.

According to her, the latest deliveries of American weapons to Ukraine are under the USAI program (Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative) and the Presidential Powers Program - this is a $40 billion package..

" The focus of the Pentagon now is to find the weapons we need as quickly as possible and provide them to us through these programs,” Oksana Markarova said in an interview with Voice of America..

As for lend-lease, this tool will be used more actively if necessary, when funds for other programs run out..

" Either we are quickly connecting Lend-Lease at this moment, or we are returning to Congress with additional requests. Rather, we appeal to the US administration, and the administration appeals to Congress,"

At the same time, the ambassador noted that the funds allocated by Congress for Ukraine should be used before the end of the fiscal year in the United States, which ends in September..

Most often, Ukraine asks for the supply of long-range artillery, MLRS, combat drones, counter-battery weapons and other systems.. There is also a need for anti-tank weapons, and mine-clearing equipment, and fuel, and spare parts..

Earlier it was reported that the United States will provide additional humanitarian assistance to Ukraine for $368 million..
