More than USD 35 million of the roughly USD 400 million in military aid to Ukraine allocated by the United States, has not been released to the country, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing Pentagon spending document.

The funds were supposed to fund purchasing of weapons, including grenade launchers, for communications, as well as for equipping the Ukrainian Navy warships.

According to the publication, members of the US Congress are aware of the situation and require the Ministry of Defense to explain why part of this money did not reach Ukraine, although the fiscal year in the United States ended on September 30.

Pentagon spokeswoman Carla Gleason confirmed to the newspaper that U.S. has yet to transfer USD 36 million to Ukraine, however, not revealing the reason why the funds have not yet been sent to Kyiv.

As The Journalist reported, Austria allocates EUR 1 million aid to Donbas.
