Sense of Congress regarding security assistance for Ukraine

It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the provision of United States security assistance is mutually beneficial to Ukraine and the national security interests of the United States; (2) the procurement of security assistance for Ukraine helps spur manufacturing necessary to prepare for other United States military contingencies, including in the Indo-Pacific, while also countering and deterring adversaries of the United States; (3) appropriations by Congress provide a demand signal for industry to continue to support the needs of the United States and our allies; (4) United States assistance to Ukraine is not charity, but must be given in coordination with contributions from other sources; and (5) the United States should use all available sources available to continue its support for Ukraine, including— (A) using United States funds to backfill and procure United States assistance for Ukraine; (B) leveraging Russian assets that are frozen in the United States to benefit Ukraine; (C) seizing illicit weapons transfers around the globe to benefit Ukraine; (D) capitalizing the Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund through the provision of security assistance and generating future returns for taxpayers; and (E) selling needed arms and other materiel to allies that are willing to provide such items to Ukraine.
