In a major shift, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signaled on Friday that<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-war-zelenskyy-nato-92069fae6a05fc03d6fb2643ecbb4b2a\" target=\"_blank\"> an offer of NATO membership<\/a> to territory under Kyiv\u2019s control could end \u201cthe hot stage of the war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Monday morning, the Pentagon had the authority to send $6.8 billion in equipment to Ukraine and around $5 billion to replace what it sent, though those figures don\u2019t account for the latest package. It also has another $2.2 billion in long-term security aid through a separate program intended to sustain support over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe bottom line is, at the president\u2019s direction, we will spend every dollar that Congress has appropriated for Ukraine and to replenish our stockpiles,\u201d said Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder in a Monday briefing with reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, at the current pace of one security package every two to three weeks, the U.S. is not on pace to spend that money by Jan. 20, when Trump will take office. The Pentagon is limited by the size of its inventories, which can\u2019t dip below a certain level lest it jeopardize its own ability to fight in a crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked about that rate, Ryder wouldn\u2019t discuss the possibility that money is leftover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll continue to do everything we can to ensure that Ukraine is getting the aid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart early Monday, discussing the front lines and Russia\u2019s attack on the city of Dnipro with an intermediate-range ballistic missile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/News\/Releases\/Release\/Article\/3982148\/readout-of-secretary-of-defense-lloyd-j-austin-iiis-call-with-ukrainian-ministe\/\">designed to carry a nuclear warhead.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSecretary Austin provided Minister [Rustem] Umerov with an update on the continued surge of U.S. security assistance to Ukraine to provide the capabilities it needs to defend against Russian aggression,\u201d the Pentagon said in a readout of their call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Biden has
