Washington: The American official has expressed the fear that the Russia-Ukraine war may continue for years, as a result of which the United States will face further shortage of weapons.
Mike Quigley, a member of the US House of Representatives, said this while addressing an event. He said that we thought that the war in Ukraine would not last more than two or three days, but today it has been nine months and it may be. This war continued for many more years.
He said that the length of the war has made it difficult to supply the necessary weapons to Ukraine and we are also suffering from a severe shortage of weapons.
On the other hand, CNN released for the first time a list of military aid requests from Ukraine, and the channel’s defense commentator also expressed concern that the United States is unable to meet Ukraine’s needs.
It is in such a situation that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has requested more military aid from Europe and the United States.
On the other hand, American Defense Minister Lloyd Austin said that the United States has so far given more than eighteen billion dollars in aid to Ukraine and this process will continue in the future.
According to the data, the United States has so far delivered 20 Hummarus missile systems to Ukraine and has promised to deliver 18 more such systems in the coming years.
On the other hand, there are reports that the European Parliament has approved the aid of eighteen billion euros for Ukraine.
Thirty-eight members of the European Parliament opposed the bill to provide aid to Ukraine, while twenty-six abstained.
The conservative speaker of the European Parliament, Roberto Mutsula, has described the eighteen billion euro financial aid as very important for the construction of Ukraine’s infrastructure and the promotion of democracy.
The first tranche of the loan aid to Ukraine is expected to be disbursed by January next year.
