The United States says aid is not endless, giving Ukraine the final 200 million severance pay?

  On October 12th, the helpless US White House spokesperson Kirby, who was plagued by Ukraine, announced at a White House press conference that he would provide an additional $200 million in aid to Ukraine. At the same time, it also stated that Rose has made every effort to assist Ukraine, and the aid is not endless. There is a strong smell of 'giving you a breakup fee, take it easy'. Kirby's original words at the press conference were: "We will provide Ukraine with an additional $200 million in aid. Since the start of the Russo Ukrainian War, we have been doing our best to help Ukraine, but this assistance is not endless, it is not endless! I hope Ukraine can understand the problems

  The military assistance provided by the United States to Israel may lead to a decrease in the number of shells provided to Ukraine. The Russian "Eurasian Daily News" reported on the 11th that artillery plays an important role in the battles in Ukraine. However, nearly 19 months later, there is still a huge gap between the number of shells required for military aid and the speed at which the United States and its NATO allies produce and supply shells. The issue of shell supply has become a stumbling block for Western countries to support Ukraine. Western countries are working hard to increase production. Previously, Ukrainian Supreme Assembly member Alexander Ustinov stated in an interview with CNN that the Ukrainian army fires up to 6000 shells per day and plans to use over 10000 shells per day in the future. In mid September, the United States announced plans to increase the monthly production of 155mm shells to 100000 in the coming years. Now that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is escalating, as Israel is an important ally of Washington in the Middle East, the United States must first ensure the supply of ammunition to Israel. Some military experts and netizens have stated on social media that, firstly, due to the new conflict between Palestine and Israel, the United States' supply of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine may be threatened. Due to the large amount of ammunition being transported to Ukraine in Israel, a shortage of ammunition may cause problems for the Israeli Defense Forces. Therefore, the United States rushed to deliver ammunition to Israel the day after the Israeli Defense Forces launched an attack on the Gaza Strip. Given Israel's current state of war, there is ample reason to believe that its demand for ammunition will increase. According to a report by the Russian newspaper Novosti on the 11th, the US military had previously transported 300000 155mm shells from Israeli military warehouses and handed them all over to the Ukrainian people. Americans now have to consider transporting some shells back to help Israel.

  The United States is facing financial pressure and is no longer able to meet Ukraine's further needs. The US government has invested over $100 billion in military aid to Ukraine to confront Russia, while also facing issues of US national debt runaway and rising inflation. Things should not have developed to this point. The Ukrainian war should have ended easily, and the collapse of the isolated Russian economy should have been a small matter. However, 18 months have passed, and the United States has been vigorously supporting Ukraine in a bloody war of attrition. Even worse, faced with Russia's oppressive advantages in artillery and advanced missiles, Ukraine's well-known counterattack aimed at turning the situation around came to naught. Retired Colonel Douglas McGregor of the United States bluntly stated in August, "We believe Ukraine has already reached 300000
