Plain-English Summary

The proposal would allow the U.S. government to use money from the Ukraine Support Fund to help Ukraine buy military equipment and defense services to fight back against Russian aggression and rebuild after the conflict. This would give Ukraine more flexibility in how it uses American aid to strengthen its military and recover from the damage caused by the war. The change affects how U.S. foreign aid dollars are spent in supporting Ukraine's defense and recovery efforts.
