Members of Congress demanded to know why $400 million in military aid to Ukraine was not spent on time. Russia opposes support for Ukraine's armed forces. A bipartisan group of US congressmen demanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Watt explain the delay in providing $400 million in military aid to Ukraine allocated for fiscal year 2026. The legislators also called on the administration to speed up the distribution of funds. This was reported by the press service of the Democratic congressman Jim Costa, who led the initiative. "We remain committed to supporting Ukraine's defense and will continue to hold the administration accountable to ensure these funds are used as intended by Congress," the lawmakers said in the letter. The funds were allocated as part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) in the 2026 government funding proposal.
