Key Takeaways

Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine has caused tremendous loss of life,
created a humanitarian crisis, threatened democracy, and exacerbated global
challenges such as food insecurity. In response to these devastating
consequences, Congress has appropriated more than $174 billion under five
Ukraine supplemental appropriations acts. About $113.4 billion was appropriated
in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 under four initial Ukraine supplemental
appropriations acts (Ukraine acts).
The majority of these funds were specified for the U.S. response to the Ukraine
crisis and some of the funds were for other purposes. Some of these funds have
expired and some remain available for future use.
Division M of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, included a provision for
us to conduct oversight of the assistance provided in the Ukraine acts. This
report is part of a series of reports that we have underway evaluating U.S.
agencies' implementation of these funds. This includes the Departments of
Defense (DOD), State, Health and Human Services (HHS), and Energy (DOE).
This review focuses on the funds appropriated in the four Ukraine acts from
2022. Specifically, this report examines the status of Ukraine supplemental
funding obligated and disbursed by 12 agencies as well as the types of activities
this funding supports. This report includes supplemental funds used to support
the U.S. response to the Ukraine crisis and for other purposes.
* As of December 31, 2023, of the approximately $113.4 billion appropriated in
the Ukraine acts, U.S. agencies had obligated about $101.2 billion and
disbursed about $67.5 billion.
* Of the approximately $62.3 billion provided to DOD, it had obligated about
$52.3 billion, such as for procuring missiles, ammunition, and combat
vehicles for Ukraine and to replace U.S. stocks. In its own reporting, DOD
combines this formal obligated amount with internal informal commitments to
convey its financial commitments.
* Of the approximately $46.1 billion provided to State and the U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID), the two agencies had obligated about
$44.4 billion, such as to support the Ukrainian government's civilian budget-
including salaries for first responders, health workers, and educators.
* Of the approximately $3.4 billion provided to HHS, it had obligated about $3.1
billion, such as in grants for supporting Ukrainian refugees settling in the U.S.
