A top Biden administration defense official on Tuesday said it is not clear how many more rounds of American taxpayer aid will be needed to sustain Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Dr. Colin Kahl, the No. 3 official at the Pentagon was asked during a hearing by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) how many more rounds of aid the Biden administration expects to request for Ukraine.
Khanna asked: “Just in terms of the American public, how many more times do you think Congress needs to provide aid?”
Kahl responded: “You know, it’s difficult, and it’s difficult because we don’t know the course and trajectory of the conflict. The conflict could end six months from now, it could end two years from now, or three years from now.”
“I think the president has said the United States will continue to support Ukraine for as long as it takes,” he added. “I would hope that Congress would continue to be supportive.”
