The United States, member states of NATO and the European Union (EU), and other allies have called Russia's war against Ukraine unprovoked and unjustified. In March 2022, the U.N. General Assembly voted 141-5 to demand Russia immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw from Ukraine (47 countries, including China and India, registered abstentions or did not vote). After Russia purported to annex additional Ukrainian territories in fall 2022, the General Assembly declared by a vote of 143-5 that Russia's actions had no validity under international law. The United States, in coordination with the EU and others, has provided substantial assistance to Ukraine, imposed increasingly severe sanctions on Russia and enablers of its war in Ukraine, and sought to promote accountability for Russian war crimes. For more, see CRS In Focus IF 12277, Russia's War on Ukraine: US. Policy and the Role of Congress. U.S. Assistance to Ukraine Congress enacted four supplemental appropriations laws in FY2022 and FY2023 providing assistance to Ukraine and countries affected by the war in Ukraine, as well as related funding. Of a total $113 billion in emergency appropriations made available by these laws, Congress appropriated about $89 billion for assistance to Ukraine and other countries affected by the war. Another $23 billion was appropriated to support U.S. military operations in Europe and other U.S. agency responses to the war, including for sanctions enforcement and refugee and entrant assistance (about $1 billion was appropriated for global assistance purposes). Combining funding from supplemental and regular appropriations, since February 2022, the Biden Administration has committed more than $70 billion in assistance to Ukraine, including $44.2 billion in security assistance, $22.9 billion in direct budget support, and $2.8 billion in humanitarian assistance (including for neighboring countries to support the needs of Ukrainian refugees). Other funds have supported governance (including anti-corruption), energy, and agriculture assistance, as well as civilian security and demining assistance.
