US forces have been forced to divert money intended for spare parts toward supporting Kiev under Biden-era commitments, a new report says
Ukraine support is draining resources from US troops stationed in Europe and damaging their combat readiness, according to a new Pentagon inspector general report.
In its report to Congress in November, the watchdog said the US Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) was forced to divert resources from US forces and longstanding operations toward supporting Kiev because of the lack of dedicated Ukraine funding in fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
“These resource gaps have negatively impacted USAREUR-AF’s overall readiness, training effectiveness, and capacity to exercise operations plans,” the report states.
