As the Biden Administration along with House and Senate leadership continue to negotiate for new appropriation bills, including new support for Ukraine, none has come as the Pentagon stated in early January 2024 that it was "out of money" for Ukraine (Defense News, ABC News, AP). Legislation that only extends preexisting funding for Ukraine (e.g., a continuing resolution without new funding) would not count (Government Accountability Office, Congressional Research Service).

NOTE 6 February 2024: So long as funding is characterized as for Ukraine, whether the assistance is direct (e.g., a check sent to Kyiv) or indirect (e.g., replenishing inventories of weapons and equipment that had been sent to Ukraine) is immaterial.
