Leaders of both houses of the United States Congress have agreed on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Hill<\/a> reports this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The document contains a section entitled “Expansion and Modification of the Defense Assistance Initiative for Ukraine,” which provides for the allocation of an additional $400 million for 2026 and another $400 million for 2027.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The total US defense budget for 2026 will be $901 billion, while President Donald Trump previously proposed $892.6 billion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The bill also requires an assessment of Russia’s military strategy, objectives, and deployment of forces influencing countries in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly China. It specifically calls for an analysis of the scope of cooperation between China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea in the diplomatic, information, military, and economic spheres.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to The Hill, the House of Representatives may vote on the NDAA in the near future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

International media note that the previous draft peace proposal, announced by the US in November, envisaged a reduction in American military aid to Ukraine, which is key to its continued defense against Russian aggression.<\/p>\n

It was previously reportedthat the United States attempted to persuade EU countries not to use frozen Russian assets for a reparations loan to Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n

As a reminder, Germany, Poland, and Norway have joined forces to provide Ukraine with a new aid package totaling $500 million, with Berlin’s contribution amounting to $200 million.<\/a><\/p>\n
