Senate Committee Votes to Extend Ukraine Security Assistance to $750 Million

The U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee voted to extend security assistance for Ukraine and increase authorized funding to $750 million. The committee's action maintains current levels of support for Ukrainian forces. The vote follows earlier congressional measures that set baseline assistance amounts.

The new authorization raises the ceiling on security assistance by a specific dollar amount. Committee members approved the change during a regular markup session. The measure does not alter existing restrictions on the types of equipment that can be provided.

The committee's decision adds to prior legislation that addressed Ukraine assistance. Lawmakers have continued to review funding levels on a recurring schedule. No timeline was announced for full Senate consideration of the committee-approved text.
