What is Security Assistance?

 

U.S. security assistance to Ukraine and European partners provides essential military resources, funding, and training in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve through multiple established programs and mechanisms, including the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), replenishment of stocks transferred under Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), Foreign Military Financing (FMF), and International Military Education and Training. To protect U.S. commercial and military aviation, State’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs leads U.S. cooperation with France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Ukraine to mitigate the risk of illicit diversion of portable advanced conventional weapons in Eastern Europe. In addition, the United States supports military deployments and training activities throughout the U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) area of responsibility.

What's New in the Latest Report?

This Quarter's Security Highlights: 

The United States delivered 1,869 short tons of ammunition and more than 1,200 major end items to Ukraine between January 1, 2026 and March 31, 2026.

NATO Contributions

As of March 20, 24 NATO allies and partners had committed more than $4.8 billion through the PURL, of which $4.2 billion from 21 countries has been transferred to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as of March 31, 2026.

European Union Budget Support to Ukraine

State reported that European Union (EU) member states—excluding Hungary, Slovakia, and Czechia—had committed to financing a €90 billion (approximately $105 billion) support loan for Ukraine. The EU emphasized that this loan should not replace bilateral support from member states.

Hungary had blocked the loan through the end of the quarter because of an unrelated dispute with Ukraine over damage to Ukraine’s section of the Druzhba pipeline that disrupted deliveries of Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia. The Council of the EU, the institutional body that establishes laws for the EU in coordination with the European Parliament, formally approved the loan on April 23, 2026.

According to an International Monetary Fund assessment, the loan covers two thirds of Ukraine’s overall financing needs for 2026 and 2027. The EU plans to provide €45 billion (approximately $53 billion) to Ukraine by December 31, 2026. The remaining part of the loan is planned for 2027. State reported that budget projections suggest Ukraine can generate the equivalent of roughly $67 billion revenue on its own for 2026, falling short of the projected $114 billion in spending needs. These projections are subject to fluctuation over the course of the conflict in 2026; however, without foreign financing, Ukraine cannot sustain its budget for the full year.

tate reported that, as of March, roughly $300 billion in Russian sovereign assets were frozen globally, most of which are held in the EU. Approximately $5 billion of assets are immobilized in the United States. The United States and the EU have not seized or otherwise used Russian sovereign asset principal for support to Ukraine. Among the Group of Seven countries, only the EU directs Russian sovereign asset investment gains into separate accounts instead of the Russian principal accounts. Currently, the EU collects and distributes gains from EU-held accounts to Group of Seven countries as repayment for the G7’s collective $50 billion Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration loan to Ukraine.

Demining

According to the UN Development Programme, landmines and other unexploded ordnance have caused civilian injuries and fatalities since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. More than 50,000 square  miles of Ukrainian territory remains potentially contaminated with mines. 
 State's Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) leads the U.S. Government’s demining efforts in Ukraine, with additional contributions from State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (State INL). State-supported explosive ordnance disposal units have demined over 200 square miles since February 2022.  U.S.-funded non-governmental organizations cleared nearly 429 acres of land and 20 aquatic acres in January and February 2026. State PM/WRA reported that Russia’s aerial attacks regularly required demining teams to pause operations or otherwise impacted operations.
