The Supporting Ukraine Act of 2025 would provide military, humanitarian, and governance support for Ukraine and related assistance to NATO members. It would appropriate $37.3 billion for specified purposes, including defense aid, humanitarian needs, police and border security, anti-corruption work, and investigations of war crimes. The bill would also direct the use of certain frozen Russian assets or revenue from them to support Ukraine, restore a task force focused on sanctions enforcement, and require ongoing intelligence support for Ukrainian military operations. It would create a joint initiative with Ukraine and Taiwan to develop unmanned defense systems and a task force to study lessons from Ukraine’s defense for U.S. military planning.
The bill does not provide direct benefits to individuals. It would direct federal funding and other support to Ukraine and some NATO members, and require reports to Congress on several programs. It would also increase the presidential authority to provide military items from U.S. stocks to Ukraine to $6 billion for each of fiscal years 2025, 2026, and 2027.
The bill would appropriate $37.3 billion for specified purposes: $30 billion for Defense Department assistance to Ukraine, $2 billion for assistance to NATO members, $500 million for humanitarian needs in Ukraine, $3 billion for foreign military financing, $750 million for Ukrainian police, border security, rule of law, anti-corruption work, and war-crime investigations, and $1.05 billion for the unmanned-systems initiative with Ukraine and Taiwan. Some funds could be transferred between accounts under the bill’s terms. The bill also raises the annual presidential drawdown authority for Ukraine, but does not provide a separate dollar appropriation for that change.
The bill states that continued support for Ukraine serves U.S. security interests, helps deter aggression, and supports stability. It also says that studying Ukraine’s defense experience could inform U.S. military planning and that allied purchases of U.S. weapons can share costs and support production.
