US President Joe Biden on Monday approved the country's defense budget for the fiscal year 2025 (which began on October 1) in the amount of $895 billion, the White House press service reported.
The US House of Representatives approved the project on December 11, and the Senate - on December 18.
The document obliges American intelligence to assess the risks to US security if Washington stops supplying weapons to Kiev and the war in Ukraine ends with Russia's success.
US intelligence is to prepare a report that will assess the ability of the Ukrainian armed forces to defend themselves if the United States continues or withdraws military and economic support, as well as if it maintains or reverses its decision to strike ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles from Ukraine deep into the territory of the Russian Federation.
In December 2023, Biden approved the country's defense budget for fiscal year 2024 in the amount of $886.3 billion.
