Citing the US military, Bloomberg reported that there is no interruption in arms supplies to Ukraine and Israel. “We supply Israel with many types of ammunition for everything from helicopters to artillery. But there's no competition with what we've already planned to send to Ukraine, at least for now,” said Deputy Defense Secretary Douglas Bush.
The publication said Washington's supplies fall under two different programs. To Israel – as part of the FMS program, in which Tel Aviv itself pays for purchases. Ukraine is supplied from a special presidential fund that allows it to send weapons from American warehouses. However, Bush warned that if both conflicts continue, there may still be competition between Israel and Ukraine for American weapons.
