US Congress approves defense budget — Ukraine may receive further support
The US House of Representatives has passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a key document that determines the country's annual defense budget. It provides for the continuation of the policy of support for Ukraine, indicating Washington's unwavering commitment to its security obligations. This is reported by The Public with reference to The Hill.
The bill, which is the result of a compromise between the House of Representatives and the US Senate, outlines the priorities of US defense policy for the 2026 fiscal year, leaving room for further payments and support for Ukraine's defense capabilities.
Washington emphasizes that aid to Ukraine remains part of the US strategic military policy, despite pressure within Congress. Despite attempts by a number of lawmakers to limit or exclude funding, the majority of Congressmen spoke in favor of maintaining support for Kyiv.
For Ukraine, this step is not just a political gesture, but a practical mechanism for supporting its ability to resist aggression. With the adoption of the document, the chance for stable supplies of weapons, ammunition, and assistance from the US increases significantly.
