Funding

Status of Funds

Congress initially appropriated $174.2 billion through the five Ukraine supplemental appropriation acts enacted FY 2022 through FY 2024, of which $163.6 billion was allocated for OAR and the Ukraine response, and $10.6 billion was allocated for other, primarily humanitarian, purposes. Additional funds of $20 billion were allocated from annual agency appropriations and $1.1 billion was allocated from other supplemental appropriation acts.

Supplemental funding includes security, governance, development, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine; funding to support enhanced U.S. military presence and activity in Europe; and replenishment of U.S. military stocks transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF).

Funding Pipeline

Funds appropriated or otherwise made available for OAR and the Ukraine response move from appropriation to disbursement, and sometimes expire. The appropriation laws specify the number of years that each appropriation is available for obligation; typically, 1, 2, or 3 years, or until expended, and after this period of availability has ended, unobligated funds are said to “expire.”

The “funding pipeline” follows this process:

Funds are appropriated and remain available for obligation, but have not yet been obligated
Funds are obligated but have not yet been disbursed
Funds are spent or “disbursed”
Funds expire, meaning they are no longer available for obligation

Total Appropriations for OAR: $184.8 billion

A January 20, 2025 Executive Order instituted an immediate pause on foreign assistance, which resulted in nearly all State- and USAID-funded foreign assistance programs in Ukraine coming to a halt. Some programs, particularly those that provide life-saving humanitarian assistance, continued under a waiver.

European allies, including Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, and the United Kingdom, agreed to increase their defense spending. In March, the European Union announced plans to potentially increase defense spending across the union by more than $840 billion.

Waivers, authorized by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, allowed continuation of emergency food assistance programs along with necessary expenses to manage awards. This waiver process was modified and expanded to include assistance for live-saving humanitarian efforts including medicine, medical services, food, and shelter.

Funding Details

$34.3B in appropriations for the Ukraine response remain available for obligation, most of which will replenish DoD weapons and equipment donated to Ukraine.
The DoD has $1B remaining in authority to transfer weapons, ammunition, and equipment from DoD stocks to Ukraine.
Since 2022, the U.S. has provided $30.2B in direct budget support to the Ukrainian government.

U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund

On April 30, the United States and Ukraine signed an agreement that establishes the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund as a partnership for the reconstruction and long-term economic success of Ukraine.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation will work with the Ukrainian government to finalize program governance.
The agreement provides the United States access to Ukraine’s rare earth elements, oil, and natural gas. Ukraine will contribute 50 percent of all future royalties from government-owned natural resources to the fund.

Funding Glossary

Appropriation
A provision of law authorizing Federal agencies to incur obligations and to make payments out of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) for specified purposes. Appropriations represent amounts that agencies may obligate during the period specified in the respective appropriation acts but do not represent the cash amounts set aside in Treasury for purposes specified in those acts.
Apportionment
The action by which the Office of Management and Budget distributes amounts available for obligation, including budgetary reserves established pursuant to law, in an appropriation or fund account. An apportionment divides amounts available for obligation by specific time periods (usually quarters), activities, projects, objects, or a combination thereof.
Obligation
Amounts representing orders placed, contracts awarded, services received, or similar transactions during an accounting period that will require payment during the same or a future period.
Disbursement
Amounts paid by U.S. federal agencies during the fiscal year to liquidate U.S. Government obligations.
Reprogramming
Realignment of budget authority within an appropriation or fund account for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of appropriation, usually to finance an emergent, unfunded requirement.
Transfer
The shifting of funds from one appropriation or fund account to another.
Expired Account or Appropriation
An appropriation or fund account in which the balance is no longer available for incurring new obligations but is still available to cover upward adjustments to prior year obligations and liquidating valid obligations. The account remains available for such purposes during the 5-year expiration period.
