Politico magazine noted that “NATO members from Eastern European countries have exhausted the weapons they supplied to Ukraine, which has become a source of inconvenience for the United States.”

The magazine stated, “Washington has made the decision to provide grants to allies for the purchase of military equipment from US defense companies,” noting that “Washington is shifting from supplying weapons to Ukraine to long-term processing of countries located on NATO’s eastern flank. This would alleviate some of the fears, especially in the Baltic states, that they are becoming more vulnerable after moving so many weapons.”

And the US agency Bloomberg previously indicated that “Ukrainian authorities are negotiating with the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) to obtain a loan of $ 1.5 billion for the purchase of gas.” The agency reported that “the issue of the loan was raised during a meeting between Ukrainian Prime Minister Dennis Shmygal and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen last night,” noting that “the parties also discussed energy security issues, including the upcoming heating season. “
