"U.S. President Joe #Biden's administration is engaged in urgent discussions with Congress to allow it to use up $6 billion in military aid for Ukraine before a Sept. 30 deadline," Reuters reports, citing a number of sources familiar with the situation

"The effort comes at a high-risk moment for Ukrainian forces, who are advancing into #Russia's #Kursk region while trying to hold off Russian forces threatening the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk," the publication writes.

Most of the $7.8 billion allocated in April has not been used, and "officials scrambling to find a way to keep the remaining $6 billion from expiring as the Sept. 30 deadline - the end of the 2024 fiscal year - approaches".

Meanwhile, congressional sources told #Reuters that the flow of #weapons to #Ukraine has slowed this year.
