Pentagon Obligates 99.8% of $400M Ukraine Aid Before Expiry; No Patriots

The Pentagon has obligated nearly all of the $400 million in Ukraine aid approved by Congress, with Senator Chris Coons confirming 99.8% usage a day before the funds expired. The package notably excludes Patriot interceptors, which Ukraine has urgently requested, signaling a potential gap in air defense support. This move reflects continued US commitment but highlights constraints in meeting Kyiv's most critical needs.
