Pentagon Confirms $400 Million in Ukraine Aid Will Be Disbursed in Batches Through 2029 as 32 Bipartisan Lawmakers Write to Hegseth Demanding Faster Delivery
Washington — The Pentagon has confirmed that Ukraine may soon receive weapons assistance worth $400 million under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, but that the money will not be spent all at once, Ukrainian media reported. The United States government has reportedly told Congress that the funds will be disbursed in batches through the end of 2029, with specific delivery arrangements still to be coordinated with Ukraine's defence ministry.
A bipartisan group of 32 US lawmakers has demanded that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accelerate delivery of the $400 million in congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine, the Kyiv Post reported on November 10. In a letter also addressed to White House budget chief Russell Vought, lawmakers warned that the Pentagon's current schedule extends through fiscal year 2029, after President Donald Trump's term ends.
Ukraine says it still has not received confirmation of where the funds are going. Denys Syenik, Ukraine's Chargé d'Affaires in the United States, said on November 6 that Kyiv has no confirmation from the US side or from NATO, in particular from the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine mission in Wiesbaden, regarding where the funds are, which contracts have already been signed or will be signed, and exactly what the funds will be directed toward.
Syenik said the funding could cover a range of critical needs of the Ukrainian army, including the purchase of ammunition, logistical support, and maintenance of F-16 fighters, and that Ukraine would very much like to receive answers on when and exactly what the funds will be used for. According to the reporting, US Senator Chris Coons has said the Pentagon had spent nearly all the contracted funds.
