The Inspectors General for the Department of Defense, Department of State, and the U.S. Agency for International Development conduct oversight of and report on the overseas contingency operation "Operation Atlantic Resolve (OAR)," including U.S. Government activities related to Ukraine, pursuant to Section 1250B of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 and Lead IG reporting responsibilities under 5 U.S.C. 419. This report also discusses the planned, ongoing, and completed oversight work conducted by the Lead IG agencies and our partner oversight agencies during the quarter that coordinate their activities through the Ukraine Oversight Interagency Working Group. OAR is the U.S. contingency operation to deter Russian aggression against NATO and to reassure and bolster the alliance in the wake of Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. OAR also includes security assistance activities in support of Ukraine.
In addition to security assistance, the U.S. Government provides direct budget support, development, and humanitarian assistance to support Ukraine and its people. In August, USAID provided an additional nearly $3.9 billion in direct budget support to Ukraine (drawn from the $7.84 billion allocated for DBS in the April 2024 supplemental) and bringing the total amount provided since 2022 to $26.8 billion. An additional $237 million in new humanitarian assistance in October, focusing on displaced Ukrainians and other vulnerable groups, bringing the total of U.S. humanitarian assistance to Ukraine to nearly $3.8 billion since February 2022. BHA’s total funding for FY 2024 is nearly $566 million. USAID supported enhancement of the cybersecurity of critical government and energy infrastructure through $128 million Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure program. Most USAID awards were monitored, but were not covered by third party monitoring.
As of August 2024, approximately 3.67 million Ukrainians were internally displaced, an increase of more than 120,000 since April, according to the UN’s International Organization for Migration. USAID has obligated more than $592 million in Ukraine supplemental funds to provide emergency assistance and support to internally displaced persons and other people within Ukraine and refugees across the region. USAID BHA allocated more than $168 million to support winterization needs during the
2024/2025 winter season, collaborating with 5 international organizations and 12 NGOs. In July, USAID BHA allocated an additional $70 million to WFP, increasing the total award to $130 million for the period from November 1, 2023, to March 31, 2025.
