The EC has not received an official demand from the United States to return the money for assistance to Ukraine

The European Commission (EC) has not received an official request from Washington to return the funds spent on military aid to Ukraine. This was announced on September 4 by EC representative Olof Gilles.

"As far as I know, we have not received a formal statement in connection with this comment on the social network," he said at a briefing in Brussels, a recording of which was published on the website of the EC audiovisual service.

The reason for the statement by the EC representative was the words of US President Donald Trump. On September 3, he announced that Washington would demand that Europe return the money that the administration of the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden, spent on military aid to Kiev.

The American leader also said that Biden had transferred more ammunition to Ukraine than the United States had used during the operation in Iran. According to Trump, Washington is not currently supplying ammunition to its allies, as it is building up its own reserves, but plans to resume sales in the near future.Газета.Ru ".

The Washington Post reported on August 9 that the Pentagon had demanded that American defense companies submit plans to increase production of weapons and accelerate their supply as soon as possible. The document emphasizes that the existing multi-year development cycles no longer meet the requirements of the American Ministry.

The Associated Press (AP) reported on August 27 that the United States is experiencing a significant shortage of modern interceptor missiles in Europe. The limit is largely related to the conflict between the United States and Iran. As the representative of the American defense department noted, the most alarming shortage concerns Patriot anti-missile systems among the US and NATO forces in Europe.
