Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 sparked the largest European war since
World War II.'The response of the United States and its partners in providing military
and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and its neighboring countries has been swift
and continuing.'The Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (Division N of
Public Law 117-103) and the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act,
2022 (Public Law 117-128) were enacted in March and May of 2022, respectively.They
provided billions of dollars in emergency supplemental appropriations in response to the
war in Ukraine. Russia has invested heavily in efforts to check U.S. strengths and impede
the United States' ability to defend its interests and allies around the world, according to
the March 2021 Interim National Security Strategic Guidance.

GAO has a large body of work
assessing areas relevant to the war in
Ukraine. This includes the U.S. military
posture in Europe, development
assistance, the information
environment, military readiness, and
intelligence issues. Among other
things, we found that:
The Department of Defense (DOD)
could better plan and prioritize
European posture and deterrence
through the European Deterrence
Initiative, including estimating long-
term costs to sustain prepositioned
equipment and other infrastructure
projects. GAO-1__123
The State Department has not
effectively shared information
on democracy assistance projects
in Ukraine as well as in other
countries. GAO-20-173
DOD could improve leadership
and integration of information
operations across the department.
GAO-21-5251
DOD does not have effective
metrics to measure readiness in each
of the five warfighting domains.
GAO-2t -279
DOD's open source intelligence
mission area could benefit from
metrics, standardized terminology,
and clarification of roles and
responsibilities.
