Shutdown in the US
The shutdown (temporary suspension of federal government operations due to lack of funding) in the US has been ongoing since 1 October, and the Senate has already rejected a bill to restore government operations ten times.
Due to a lack of funding, most government agencies and departments remain closed, and thousands of civil servants have been sent on forced leave.
President Donald Trump's administration has warned that it is prepared for further cuts in federal personnel.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the United States continues to supply weapons to Ukraine despite the announced shutdown.
