Personally, I can care less if the government shuts down or not. If anything, Americans are better off if the government is inactive. Regardless of what happens though, the Ukraine gravy train rolls on… The Pentagon will continues to help Ukraine regardless if there’s a government shutdown or not.
The possibility of a government shutdown currently looms in the U.S., but the Department of Defense will continue carrying out Ukraine-related activities even if there is a lapse in government appropriations, Defense Department spokesperson Chris Sherwood informed Politico.
“Operation Atlantic Resolve is an excepted activity under a government lapse in appropriations,” Sherwood said, according to the outlet.
Politico reported that this means America’s activities, such as training of Ukrainian troops and shipping armaments to the war-torn Eastern European nation, would continue in the event of a U.S. government shutdown.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with President Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday.
The Ukrainian leader has also met with U.S. lawmakers during his trip to America.
