The proposed $874.2 billion fiscal 2024 (FY24) defense budget that the House Armed Services Committee will begin vetting June 21 provides $80 million in military assistance for Ukraine but closes out further funding for Kyiv for the current fiscal year, which ends Oct. 1.

Since the Russian invasion started in February 2022, the United States has authorized more than $100 billion in assistance for Ukraine, according to the U.S. State Department, including $40 billion in military gear and munitions.
