 U.S. to reduce military aid to Ukraine in 2024. The U.S. is unlikely to give Ukraine anywhere near the same level of military aid in 2024. Compared to this year, the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing officials in Washington. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden and his administration insist that they will continue to back Kiev to the Hilt. The U.S. has supplied more than US$43 billion worth of arms to Ukraine since Russia's military operation began last year, while leaked Pentagon documents indicate that NATO countries trained and equipped nine Ukrainian brigades to take part in the ongoing counteroffensive against Russian forces. With the Ukrainian military failing to penetrate Russia's defensive lines after nearly three months of fighting, American military planners are advising their Ukrainian counterparts to stick to their NATO training and use what they've been given more effectively, the Wall Street Journal reported. The American advice is based on the calculation that the surge of equipment the U.S. has funneled to Ukraine is enough for this offensive and is unlikely to be repeated at anywhere near the same level in 2024, the newspaper explained. Washington's continued bankrolling of the Ukrainian military is a matter of political contention in the U.S., while almost all Democratic members of Congress back Biden's policy of arming Kiev for as long as it takes. A group of more than two dozen Republicans are vehemently opposed. Moreover, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has promised to force Kiev into a peace deal if elected president next November.
