While waiting for Congress to pass a budget and potentially approve more money for Ukraine’s fight, the U.S. will be looking to allies to keep bridging the gap.
Tuesday's meeting will focus on longer-term needs, deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters Monday.
“Even though we aren’t able to provide our security assistance right now, our partners are continuing to do that,” Singh said.
The U.S. has provided Ukraine more than $44.2 billion in security assistance since Russia invaded in February 2022.
An additional $1.7 billion has been provided by the U.S. State Department in the form of foreign military financing.
