[US to Cut Military Aid Appropriations for Ukraine in Fiscal Year 2026 Budget]
On June 10, according to reports by The Associated Press, US Secretary of Defense Hackett said that the US 2026 fiscal year defense budget will cut military aid appropriations for Ukraine. This may mean a reduction in key equipment such as air defense systems that Ukraine will receive in the future. "This is budget cuts. The current administration has a completely different view on this conflict. We believe that achieving peace through negotiation is most beneficial to all parties involved, especially considering the multiple competitive demands we have around the world."
The report pointed out that since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, the United States has provided more than $66 billion in assistance to Ukraine.
On June 7, Canada announced an additional CAD 35 million (approximately USD 25.5 million) in military aid to Ukraine, including "Coyote" and "Buffalo" armored vehicles.
Previously, Ukrainian Defense Minister Umurov said that the assistance provided in the "Danish model" will increase to 1.3 billion euros, with some funds coming from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.
