The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that it transferred thousands of seized Iranian weapons and over 1 million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine to bolster Ukraine's defense amid potential aid delays due to congressional clashes.
On Monday, a transfer of resources was executed to bolster Kyiv's military efforts in breaking through Russia's defensive positions before winter. Funding for Ukraine has become entangled in political discord within the House, as a faction of hard-line Republican members opposes any further assistance to the conflict, Politico reported.
The delivery of 1.1 million 7.62 mm rounds to the Ukrainian armed forces has been in the planning stages for several months, as confirmed by U.S. Central Command spokesperson Capt. Abigail Hammock.
