Trump administration commits to spend $400 million in military aid for Ukraine before September 30 deadline

The Trump administration has made legally binding commitments to spend almost all of the $400 million Congress approved for military aid to Ukraine, ensuring the money will not expire on September 30. As of early this week, $307 million had been obligated, and the administration plans to lock in the remaining $93 million before the fiscal year ends. The first deliveries, including offensive weapons and spare parts, began this month. The aid has been criticized for delays, and the package does not include Patriot missiles. Trump met with Ukrainian President Zelensky to discuss ending the war.
