From CNN's Natasha Bertrand and Oren Liebermannin the event of a US government shutdownThe Pentagon would still be able to access equipment from its own stockpiles, which is where the majority of equipment sent to Ukraine comes from, in the event of a shutdown, given that the department still has billions of dollars' worth of funding remaining under the Presidential Drawdown Authority.
