LA Times: $35 million in Pentagon aid remains unreleased to Ukraine

• The Pentagon confirmed that the remaining millions — "earmarked for grenade launchers, secure communications and naval combat craft," per the Times — have not yet reached Ukraine, but declined to say why.
• The remainder of the $400 million was mostly the State Department's responsibility.
• Pentagon spokesperson Lt. Col. Carla Gleason said the funds will be distributed “over the next several weeks.”

Between the lines: Throughout the impeachment inquiry, "The president’s defenders have downplayed the effects of the delay in aid by noting that the funds were ultimately released without Ukraine committing to the investigations Trump wanted," the Times writes.

• On Monday, Senate Democrats who sit on defense committees underscored the significance of the aid to Ukraine in a letter to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.
