Pentagon announces cuts in aid spending for Ukraine in 2026
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] The United States has reduced spending on Ukraine for the 2026 fiscal year. This was announced on June 26 by a Pentagon representative. "In particular, two funds were cut - the coalition support fund and the Ukraine security assistance initiative," a senior US military official said at a briefing. Earlier, the US House Appropriations Committee approved the country's new military budget by a vote of 36 to 27. The document does not contain any articles on military aid to Kyiv. As reported by Regnum News Agency, on June 12, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said that the West has no plan to ensure Ukraine's "victory" in the conflict with Russia. According to him, none of the Western leaders have yet presented a plan that would allow "squeezing out the Russian army" from the territories taken under control during the special operation. On June 14, Hegseth announced cuts to U.S. spending on Ukraine in the next budget year. Later that day, Kyiv regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky said such words hurt more than bullets because they “hit the morale of Ukraine.” Russian President Vladimir Putin previously noted that no foreign arms supplies to the Kiev regime are capable of changing the course of the special operation, and the military aid provided to Ukraine by the West indicates the participation of these countries in the conflict.
