• The possibility of a government shutdown currently looms in the U.S., but the Department of Defense will continue carrying out Ukraine-related activities even if there is a lapse in government appropriations, Defense Department spokesperson Chris Sherwood informed Politico.
• “Operation Atlantic Resolve is an excepted activity under a government lapse in appropriations,” Sherwood said, according to the outlet.
• Politico reported that this means America’s activities, such as training of Ukrainian troops and shipping armaments to the war-torn Eastern European nation, would continue in the event of a U.S. government shutdown.
