What got approved
The annual defense law authorized $400 million for the main program the United States uses to send military assistance to Ukraine. For comparison, a single funding law in April 2024 provided nearly $14 billion for the same program.
Allowing money to be spent is not the same as providing it. That takes a separate funding law.
The law that funds the defense department for this year became law on 3 February 2026. Its official summary describes what departments it funds, not individual programs, so we cannot confirm from it whether the $400 million was actually provided.
What we can point to: the official watchdog for this assistance reported in 2026 that Congress has not made significant new funding available since April 2024.
The defense department must now tell Congress within 48 hours if it stops or sharply reduces intelligence support to Ukraine, and say why and what the effect will be.
What could have been
While this ranks 15th of 15 for agreement, and it is the only topic on the list where a party sits below 60%, no member has ever voted on assistance to Ukraine by itself.
It moves inside the annual defense law and inside funding packages carrying hundreds of other subjects, most of which have never been polled. So no member's position on this can be separated from everything else they were voting on. See polling qualifications.
Additional notes
Assistance now flows largely through allied countries paying for American weapons rather than through American funding. That is not a law and is not counted here.
