(Bloomberg) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in Granada, Spain, for a summit of European leaders as concerns grow about the flow of US aid to help support his country in its fight against Russia’s invasion.
Ukraine has “weighty propositions” on the European security architecture to present at the the European Political Community Summit, Zelenskiy said on Telegram. His participation in the meetings had been in doubt.
Ukraine’s key task is to strengthen air defense ahead of winter and discuss the freedom of navigation on the Black Sea as his country seeks to resume grain exports damaged by Russia’s naval blockade, he said.
There is a growing apprehension in Ukraine’s political circles that the political infighting in Washington may disrupt the steady stream of economic aid.
Ukraine may run out of money to purchase weapons from US stockpiles within the next month and a half if the US doesn’t approve a new defense package, Oleksandra Ustinova, the head of a parliamentary commission tracking foreign weapons supply and usage, said on local TV.
