Status of Ukraine Funding: Appropriations and Allocation
Congress has played a pivotal role in directing “ukraine money” through five Ukraine supplemental appropriation acts spanning fiscal years 2022 to 2024. These acts have collectively allocated $174.2 billion. Of this amount, $163.6 billion is specifically designated for Operation Atlantic Resolve and the broader Ukraine response, while $10.6 billion is directed towards other critical needs, primarily humanitarian aid.

The Ukraine Funding Pipeline: From Appropriation to Disbursement
Understanding the journey of “ukraine money” from appropriation to actual use is essential. The total $182.8 billion allocated for Operation Atlantic Resolve and the Ukraine response can be categorized into four stages within the funding pipeline. Currently, $39.6 billion remains appropriated and available for obligation, representing funds that are yet to be formally committed to specific projects or activities. A significant portion, $57.0 billion, has been obligated, meaning these funds are earmarked for specific purposes but have not yet been disbursed. $83.4 billion has been successfully disbursed, indicating that these funds have reached their intended recipients and are actively being utilized. Lastly, $2.7 billion represents expired funds, which are no longer available for obligation due to the expiration of their period of availability. This breakdown of the funding pipeline provides transparency into the current status of “ukraine money” and its progression towards supporting Ukraine.

Loans to Ukraine: Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration and Other Mechanisms
Beyond direct funding, loans represent another crucial financial mechanism in supporting Ukraine.
Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration Loans and Ukraine
A significant aspect of international financial support involves extraordinary revenue acceleration loans. Since February 2022, the international community has taken steps to immobilize approximately $300 billion in Russian assets. While the majority of these assets are held within European financial institutions, some are also located in U.S., Canadian, and Japanese financial institutions. Between October 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024, the G7 nations launched a $50 billion initiative to provide extraordinary revenue acceleration loans to Ukraine. These loans are structured to be repaid using future proceeds generated from these immobilized Russian assets, estimated at roughly $2.6 to $3.2 billion annually. The United States has pledged $20 billion as part of this vital initiative, contributing significantly to the “ukraine money” pool. The World Bank’s Ukraine Financial Intermediary Fund is designated as the trustee and administrator, overseeing the distribution of loan contributions from the U.S. and other international lenders directly to Ukraine.
Other Loan Mechanisms Supporting Ukraine
In addition to the G7 initiative, the U.S. Government has utilized other loan mechanisms to further support Ukraine’s financial stability. $1.6 billion has been leveraged to secure a $4.8 billion loan through the World Bank’s Special Program for Ukraine and Moldova Recovery, alongside a $530 million loan via the World Bank’s Economic Resilience Action Program. Ukraine has strategically deployed the Special Program for Ukraine and Moldova Recovery loan to finance essential public sector salaries, mirroring the support provided through direct budget assistance. Further details on these loan programs and their impact are available in the FY 2025 Q1 OAR report, offering deeper insights into the diverse financial strategies employed to assist Ukraine.
