The Pentagon says it may have to go back to Congress for additional money to support Ukraine’s battle to defeat Russia’s invasion.
Rolling out the Defense Department's $773 billionPentagon leaders said Monday the budget was finalized before the invasion so it has no specific money for the war. Congress approved a $13.5 billion emergency funding package in early March.
As the war enters its second month, the U.S. has been sending troops, aircraft and other weapons to NATO's eastern flank, where nations worry they may be Russia's next targets. The Pentagon said the budget recognizes that Russia is an “acute threat," and the totals include more than $5 billion to provide support to European allies and increase America's ability to work with them.
The department also is seeking $1 billion to continue efforts to shut down the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility in Hawaii that leaked petroleum into Pearl Harbor’s tap water. The money is in addition to $1 billion already allocated, and will help pay for remediation of the site, ongoing needs of the affected families, litigation costs and the development of alternative fuel locations for the U.S. military in the region.
