How the US keeps funding Ukraine’s military — even as it says it’s out of money

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says funding for Ukraine has run out and it has been increasing pressure on Congress to pass stalled legislation to support the war against Russia. On Tuesday, however, President Joe Biden touted a new military aid package worth $200 million for Ukraine. That may seem contradictory, but it’s due to the complex programs used to send aid to Ukraine. Under one of them, the money appeared to be gone, but the Pentagon determined it had overstated the value of the weapons it had already sent Ukraine. That effectively left Ukraine with a store credit, which now stands at around $4.4 billion.
