It includes $30 billion for DoD operations and the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, $3 billion in Foreign Military Financing, $2 billion for NATO allies, $1 billion for a trilateral drone initiative with Ukraine and Taiwan, and $750 million for humanitarian and rule of law programs. The bill also authorizes seizure of Russian frozen assets and creates mechanisms to leverage those assets for Ukraine's benefit.
