Funding

Status of Funds

Congress appropriated $174.2 billon through the five Ukraine supplemental appropriation acts enacted FY 2022 through FY 2024, of which Federal government agencies allocated $163.6 billion for OAR and the Ukraine response, and $10.6 billion was allocated for other, primarily humanitarian, purposes. Additional funds of $22.3 billion were allocated from annual agency appropriations, and $1.1 billion was allocated from other supplemental appropriation acts. These three sources of funding have collectively provided $187 billion in total appropriations for OAR and the Ukraine response.

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

Loans

Extraordinary revenue acceleration loans

Since February 2022, the international community has immobilized Russian assets valued at approximately $300 billion. While most of these assets are held in European financial institutions, some are held in U.S., Canadian, and Japanese financial institutions as well.

Between October 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, the G7 nations initiated $50 billion in what’s called extraordinary revenue acceleration loans to Ukraine. The loans are to be repaid by future proceeds from these immobilized assets, roughly $2.6 to $3.2 billion per year.

The U.S. has provided $20 billion as part of this initiative. The World Bank’s Ukraine Financial Intermediary Fund will serve as the trustee and administrator to distribute loan contributions from the U.S. and other lenders to Ukraine.

Total Appropriations for OAR: $187 billion

At an April 11 meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels, the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, composed of more than 50 countries, secured nearly $25 billion in new commitments for military aid to Ukraine. British Minister of Defense John Healey stated that this was the largest increase in military support to Ukraine to date, and adds to the more than $23 billion already committed by NATO allies earlier in the year.
On April 30, the United States and Ukraine signed an agreement that establishes the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, a bilateral mineral development fund, the revenues from which will be shared and the fund will be managed by the two countries on an equal basis. The agreement does not require Ukraine to reimburse the U.S. for past military aid, but counts any future U.S. military assistance as a capital contribution to the fund. The agreement aims to strengthen the strategic partnership between the United States and Ukraine for long-term reconstruction and modernization.
- In late June, Russian forces captured one of Ukraine’s largest lithium deposits in the Donetsk region. Increased Russian control of Ukrainian mineral deposits risks imperiling the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal.

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.
