🇺🇦🇺🇸 Ukraine, within the framework of the USAI program, which provides for the purchase of weapons from industry and for which the US Congress under the Biden administration allocated $33 billion, received weapons worth $11.1 billion as of October 2025.

This is evidenced by the government document “Operation Atlantic Resolve Including U.S. Government Activities Related to Ukraine”, reports the Telegram channel “Shrike News”.

According to the document, as of the end of 2025, the American department had contracted weapons worth $32.3 billion under the USAI program.

This amount covers almost all of the funds that Congress has allocated to support the Ukrainian Defense Forces during 2022-2024.

Since this mechanism involves creating equipment at enterprises “from scratch”, much of the assistance is still in the shops of American factories. The Pentagon accelerated the conclusion of contracts in the second half of 2025, which helped distribute almost all of the available funding.
