The Biden administration is trying to send billions of dollars of military equipment to Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, a move that is proving to be logistically challenging and raising concerns about depleting U.S. stockpiles, reports The Wall Street Journal.
According to the Journal, the Pentagon is sending to Ukraine more than 500 interceptors for the Patriot missile defense system and the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, or #NASAMS.Because weapons deliveries take weeks, sometimes months, the U.S. is looking into buying back weapons from other countries to give to Ukraine, according to the Journal.
More than $7 billion in drawdown authority, which allows the president to provide defense items such as ammunition and missiles from DOD's inventories to respond to foreign crises, remains unspent.
