Now, there are fears the tap may begin flowing less freely — most notably from Kyiv’s most important military backer, the United States.
After a heated spending debate nearly shut down the US government, Congress passed a stopgap funding bill last week that stripped out funding for Ukraine, in an attempt to appease some hardline Republicans.
