This was reported by The Hill.According to the outlet, the bill was introduced by Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Lisa Murkowski. Its total value exceeds $50 billion.The senators present their bill as a tool to pressure Russian leader Vladimir Putin to come to the negotiating table—by strengthening Ukraine’s military capabilities to resist Russian attacks. The bill also establishes safeguards to prevent actions by the executive branch that could restrict aid to Ukraine.What does the bill include?The bill envisions billions of dollars in direct military aid to Ukraine, but a significant portion of the funds is intended for investments in U.S.-based military production. It also proposes new mechanisms to raise funds in support of Kyiv.Among them:Using interest from frozen Russian assets in the U.S. to finance aid to Ukraine;Transferring "confiscated" or "illegally held" weapons from non-state actors to Ukraine, or using the proceeds from their sale to purchase military equipment;Prioritizing American-made military goods for U.S. allies' purchases, with subsequent delivery to Ukraine.The bill also regulates an agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine on the supply of critical minerals, allowing revenues from those sales to help reimburse U.S. defense spending for Ukraine.What are the numbers?Direct military support to Ukraine includes $30 billion through 2027 and an additional $3 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) over the next two fiscal years.The bill increases the president’s authority to draw down from U.S. weapons stockpiles from $100 million to $6 billion annually—allowing for direct deliveries from Pentagon inventories to Ukraine with reimbursement.It also allocates:$600 million to support Ukrainian law enforcement and anti-corruption efforts;$50 million to prosecute war criminals;$1 billion for a trilateral drone initiative for research, development, and manufacturing in partnership with Ukraine and Taiwan, incorporating lessons learned from Ukraine’s fight against Russia.Additionally, the bill proposes creating a working group to analyze lessons from the war in Ukraine, including modern combat doctrines and drone countermeasures.Senators’ position“This bipartisan bill is a win for America,” Shaheen said in a statement. “It supports our defense industrial base, American manufacturers and workers — all while ensuring the U.S. military learns from Ukraine’s battlefield innovations. Make no mistake: unprovoked violence against U.S. partners by would-be aggressors in the Kremlin and Beijing will be met by unshakable resolve from the U.S. and our allies.”Lisa Murkowski added that the bill affirms “our commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and to America’s national interests.”On July 24, the U.S. State Department approved a potential $180 million sale of air defense equipment to Ukraine, along with $150 million worth of support systems for M109 self-propelled howitzers.
