Political gridlock is affecting weapons exports to NATO allies, which are often forwarded to Kiev, according to the outlet<\/strong><\/p>\n

The US government shutdown has delayed more than $5 billion in arms exports to European NATO members and subsequent transfers to Ukraine, Axios reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n

A budget standoff between Democrats and Republicans in Congress has dragged the shutdown out for 40 days, making it the longest in US history.<\/p>\n

“This is actually really harming both our allies and partners and US industry to actually deliver a lot of these critical capabilities overseas,”<\/em> Axios cited a senior State Department official as saying.<\/p>\n

More than $5 billion in arms exports – including AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, HIMARS, and other weapons for European NATO members – have been affected, the outlet added.<\/p>\n

The source did not specify the final destination of the arms, but US exports to NATO countries are often transferred to Ukraine, Axios reported.<\/p>\n

The delay stems from a lag in congressional approval, as the State Department bureau that normally briefs lawmakers on arms exports is operating with only a quarter of its usual staff, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

The shutdown has also frozen talks between Washington and Kiev on future arms shipments, The Telegraph reported last month.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has increasingly pushed European NATO states to take over the burden of supporting Ukraine by buying American-made armaments.<\/p>\n

“We send weapons to NATO, and NATO is going to reimburse the full cost of those weapons,”<\/em> Trump said earlier this year, shortly after European members of the US-led military bloc committed to a 5% of GDP military spending target.<\/p>\n

Russia has long condemned the supply of weapons to Ukraine by Western nations, arguing it makes them party to the conflict, which Moscow sees as a NATO-led proxy war. Such supplies only prolong the fighting but cannot change its outcome, Russia has said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
