Military assistance provided to Ukraine is reducing the resources of US Army units in Europe and Africa and negatively affecting their combat readiness, APA reports.
This was stated in a new report prepared by the inspectors general of the Pentagon, the US Department of State, and the US Agency for International Development.
The document noted that the allocation of funds to support Ukraine affects the readiness of the US Army's command in Europe and Africa to carry out its missions and the effectiveness of its operations.
In particular, funding assistance to Kyiv has led to a reduction in funds allocated for the purchase of spare parts for US forces stationed in Europe.
The report submitted to the US Congress covers the period from July 1 to September 30, 2026.
The report also stated that more than 6,000 US military personnel participated in Operation Atlantic Resolve during the third quarter, an operation aimed at strengthening NATO's eastern flank and increasing the US military presence in Europe.
According to data as of the end of September, approximately 78,000 military personnel were assigned to the area of responsibility of the US Armed Forces' European Command. More than 6,000 of them supported Operation Atlantic Resolve.
