US EditionSenate panel approves $500 million aid for Ukraine in defense bill
UKRAINE, JUL 11 – The Senate Armed Services Committee increased Ukraine aid from $300 million to $500 million and extended the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative through 2028 to support defense against Russia.
- On July 9, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved a bill with a 26-1 vote to extend the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative through 2028, increasing annual funding to $500 million.
- Heightened Russian drone and missile attacks, alongside Defense Secretary Hegseth's paused aid in July and GOP questioning aid size, drove the aid increase.
- The draft bill mandates contracts with defense firms to build weapons, requires regular support reports, and blocks retiring the A-10 fleet below 103 aircraft.
- Less than a week after the Pentagon paused aid, shipments to Ukraine resumed following President Donald Trump’s call for support and criticism of Russian aggression.
- The legislation still requires reconciliation with the House version, with final details expected in coming months, while also addressing threats from China, Iran, and North Korea.
