Ukraine has firepower to fight on without US support for now
Briefly

Ukraine has amassed significant armaments prior to the changes in US military aid. While current stockpiles can sustain operations for approximately six months, the withdrawal of US support, especially in high-value defense systems, creates future vulnerabilities. Currently, US aid since the war's inception totals $65.9 billion, with a recent significant funding package allowing for a buffer in stocks. Meanwhile, European support has also been robust, comprising a growing percentage of military inputs. The combined absence of US capabilities, following substantial past contributions, will be a critical factor in Ukraine's ongoing defense efforts.
The US military aid to Ukraine has been crucial, amounting to over $31.7 billion in arms and ammunition since the start of the war, as total assistance reaches $65.9 billion.
Experts suggest that Ukraine has stockpiled enough resources to sustain itself for about six months without US aid, though it will find future military operations more challenging.
