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.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Congress has appropriated or otherwise made available $182.75 billion to support the Office of Assistance and Reconstruction (OAR) and the broader U.S. response to Ukraine. As of the end of the quarter, at least $140.47 billion has been obligated, and $83.43 billion has been disbursed.
This quarter, the U.S. Government disbursed $20.00 billion to be repaid by future proceeds of immobilized Russian sovereign assets to a World Bank-managed trust fund designated for Ukraine. USAID transferred $535.25 million from the Economic Support Fund to its Sovereign Credit Program Account at the Department of the Treasury, to cover loan guarantee subsidy costs. Since 2022, the U.S. Government has provided over $30.21 billion in direct budget support to the Ukrainian government, contributing to a total of $115.2 billion provided by partner nations and institutions.
USAID has continued efforts to support the repair and rehabilitation of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure by supplying equipment, materials, and technical assistance to ensure the continued provision of essential services such as electricity, heating, and water, including to enhance the resilience of Ukraine’s energy grid.
Additionally, Congress has appropriated or otherwise made available $4.11 billion for humanitarian assistance through the State Department, USAID, and USDA programs, including $906.1 million in FY 2024 alone. More than half of this funding was allocated in FY 2022, when the displacement crisis and disruptions to Ukraine’s food production and distribution peaked following Russia’s invasion. Since February 2022, the United States has provided approximately $3.8 billion in humanitarian assistance within Ukraine and across the region.
