Supporting Ukraine Act of 2025

This bill sends emergency money, weapons, and other help to Ukraine and nearby allies. It sets aside $30 billion for the U.S. military to supply air defense, drones, artillery, tanks, rockets, and other gear to Ukraine, plus $2 billion to help NATO neighbors like Poland and the Baltic States replace equipment they gave to Ukraine and deter Russia. It also provides $500 million for humanitarian aid, such as disaster help for people harmed by the war, and $3 billion to finance military support for Ukraine and countries affected by the war. The President can draw up to $6 billion a year from U.S. stockpiles in 2025–2027 to rush aid when needed. The bill also keeps U.S. intelligence flowing to help Ukraine defend and retake its territory, with a five-year limit unless the war ends sooner.

The bill looks for new ways to fund aid without raising taxes. It orders the government to transfer frozen Russian state assets to a Ukraine fund and to propose ways to earn more from those assets, like reinvesting or taxing their income, with regular reports to Congress. It also directs the U.S. to give Ukraine any usable weapons seized from sanctioned Iranian entities and to sell any surplus to support Ukraine. The bill backs long-term recovery by counting U.S. military assistance as a contribution to a U.S.–Ukraine reconstruction investment fund. It restarts a Justice Department team to go after corrupt Russian elites and funds Ukraine’s police, border guards, anti-corruption work, and war-crimes investigations. It also creates a Ukraine “lessons learned” task force and a U.S.–Ukraine–Taiwan program to fast-track unmanned systems like drones.

• Allies are expected to share more of the load by buying U.S.-made weapons for Ukraine, which the bill says will help spread costs and keep production lines running.
