The motion allowed the U.S. to take control of the munitions now being sent to Ukraine, which had previously been stored in U.S. facilities around the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1.1 million 7.62 mm rounds being sent to the Ukrainian military were seized by \u201cCentral Command naval forces from the transiting stateless dhow MARWAN\u201d in December, it said. <a href=\"https:\/\/media.defense.gov\/2023\/Sep\/21\/2003306164\/-1\/-1\/0\/Ukraine-Fact-Sheet.PDF\">According to a Department of Defense fact sheet,<\/a> the U.S. has sent Ukraine \u201cmore than 300,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition and grenades\u201d to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transfer, which the U.S. had sought for months, comes as the Biden administration faces increasing friction on its efforts to support Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the weekend, Congress passed a six-week continuing resolution without further aid to the country that the White House had sought. The Democratic-controlled Senate initially planned to include some $6 billion in such aid in its version of the CR. The bill never reached a vote, lest a shutdown arrive before a deal could be reached with the majority-Republican House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without more aid appropriated \u2014 and it will be that much harder to pass more without a speaker of the House \u2014 the Pentagon has limited options to support Ukraine. Department of Defense spokespeople say the U.S. has $5.4 billion left to draw down its stocks for Ukraine. But only $1.6 billion is left to replenish such stocks, meaning there\u2019s an almost $4 billion gap in what the Pentagon can send to Ukraine and what it can resupply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have enough funding authorities to meet Ukraine\u2019s battlefield needs for just a little bit longer but we need Congress to act,\u201d said Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh at a briefing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The transfer comes as prospects of further Ukraine aid look bleak in
