'$8 billion'
SUMMARY

The U.S. will announce over $8 billion in military aid for Ukraine during President Zelenskiy's visit to Washington.

Discussions are ongoing in Congress to allow the use of $5.6 billion in military aid before the end of the federal fiscal year on September 30.

Additionally, a $2.4 billion aid package will be unveiled under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. This program enables the administration to purchase weapons for Ukraine from private companies rather than from U.S. stockpiles.
