House Democrats Approve $37.5 Billion Ukraine Aid Package Valid Through 2024-2026
House Democrats passed the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, which grants $37.5 billion to help Ukraine, including money for American military personnel and other support, making it possible until December 31, 2024, or September 30, 2026.
This is a bill about giving money to support the military in response to the situation in Ukraine. It plans to use money from the U.S. Treasury that hasn't been spent on anything else. This money will be used in the 2024 fiscal year and for some other needs too.
-
For the Army, they get $207,158,000 for paying soldiers and other personnel costs, and it needs to be spent by the end of 2024. This includes money for things soldiers need to do their jobs, like equipment and training, which gets $4,887,581,000.
-
The Marine Corps is given $3,538,000 for personnel, which also has to be spent by the end of 2024. They also receive $69,045,000 for maintaining and operating their equipment and activities.
-
The Air Force will get $23,302,000 for its personnel and $371,475,000 for operating and maintaining things like planes and bases.
-
The Space Force gets $4,192,000 for personnel costs and $8,443,000 for its operation and maintenance costs.
Additionally, there's a big chunk of money, $27,930,780,000, set aside for the Department of Defense to use in any way needed to support Ukraine. Out of this, $13,772,460,000 is specifically for helping Ukraine directly through a program called the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. This program can buy new equipment or repair things to be used for helping Ukraine. The bill also allows for some of this money to go to other countries that have helped Ukraine at the U.S.'s request.
For buying missiles for the Army, there's $2,742,757,000, and for buying ammunition, there's $5,612,900,000. Both pools of money are to be used by the end of 2026.
