Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday said $400 million in Ukraine support was released after Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) penned an angry op-ed criticizing the stall in funding.
“The department recognizes that $400 million was allocated for European capacity building, and as of yesterday, it has been released,” Hegseth said in response to a question about the aid from Rep. Sarah Elfreth (D-Md.).
Elfreth followed up to ask whether the money was released under contract.
Pentagon Comptroller Jules Hurst III said the aid was “not under contract, but released to be put under contract.”
When pressed by Elfreth on when the money would be able to be used on the ground in Ukraine, the comptroller said, “That depends on what they buy with the money.”
“We’re going to take the advice of the EUCOM commanders, we employ those funds for best use,” he added, referring to U.S. European Command.
Throughout her line of questioning, Elfreth cited McConnell’s anger that the bipartisan funding was not released sooner.
“Despite some public belittling, Ukraine has stepped up perhaps more than any other ally for us in the Middle East,” the Maryland representative said at the start of her questioning.

He’s useless.
He should go back to quoting to Gospel According to Tarantino.
McConnell blocked voter ID; he deserves NO favors of any type.
So the Dems and some in the GOP bitch about money being used to fight Iran, but have NO problem sending BILLIONS to Ukraine for a war that we all know involves money laundering, the money gets funneled back here to Dem and GOP lawmakers
Pentagon Comptroller Jules Hurst III said the aid was “not under contract, but released to be put under contract.” I like that part the best.
McTurtle is willing to fund the Ukraine laundromat to the last Ukrainian life.
She wants her kickback.
Just like AOC works for another country, so does McConnell.
Was he bitching, bragging or what ?
400 million ?
One of Zman’s business partners ,Tymur Mindich , he absconded with $100 million himself.
Hard to say how far $400 million would go amongst thieves.
The Hill
I’ll wait for a more reliable source
Ukraine is a black hole of corruption… That war has been going on for how long now? Nothing is happening on either side and I truly don’t think that it’s really happening.
“I bomb you, you bomb me. And we all scam money from the United States”
Dah
PRESIDENT TRUMP KAY PULL OUR TROOPS FROM GERMANY
And nobody ever sees pictures of the destruction on either side… How weird
Turdle must be getting short on cash…
McConnell wrote it? Sure… I believe he wrote it. Lol. I don’t think he’s had a coherent thought since he had his tapioca pudding this morning. And an angry oped supporting the Ukraine government? Was it written in the original German?
McConnell’s not writing ANYTHING!!!! SOMEONE ELSE IS!!! ANd WTF is Hegseth listening to that MORON McCONNELL??
and whats so silly is that the funds were released because Turtle McConnell(Who I guarantee you gets money funneled back from Ukraine to his bank account) wrote an angry op-ed..gee is that all it took. Ya think if I write an angry op-ed in the paper I can get 10 million bucks put into my bank account, I should start putting ink to paper now!
Any why is the Ukraine our problem?
The writer’s at the hill act like 5-year-olds. They refuse to call it the Department of War or Secretary of War. Anything to go against President Trump.
