  • As aid has slowed to a trickle, Ukrainians have been forced to improvise to keep their frontline troops supplied. DW’s Nick Connolly takes a look at how they're coping in this exclusive report from a Ukrainian military facility.
    These desperate measures are underway as lawmakers in the US have approved a bill providing almost 61 billion dollars worth of aid and military support to Ukraine. The package had been delayed for months due to cross-party wrangling. Democrats joined forces with some moderate Republican lawmakers to push the bill through, though the majority of Republicans voted against it.

    It's less than 8% of our military budget, but it technically replaces older munitions that are going to be destroyed due to shelf life. And yes, we have to pay a exorbant amount to dispose of those weapons, possibly 1/2 the cost of what we are giving to ukraine. So in one way, we are saving the cost of disposal by letting ukraine dispose of them on the front lines.

      Exactly. Most people don't realize it costs 10k dollars to decommission a single stinger missile.
      It's better just to empty out our old stocks to send to Ukraine. And then use the allocated funds to replenish it with newer equipment. In military terms, it's called force modernization. We do, after all, only have a limited storage capacity.

    Same way you can't develop with aid resources..you can't win a war with aid money
