The United States has not sent $64.96 billion of the money set aside for Ukraine. A joint report to the US Congress says so. Auditors from the Pentagon, the State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) wrote it together.
What the Audit Report Says
The report puts a clear number on the unspent US Ukraine funds. It covers money tied to Operation Atlantic Resolve and the wider response to the situation in Ukraine. Here is how the auditors describe it.
“Of the funds appropriated by the US Congress or otherwise made available for Operation Atlantic Resolve (OAR) and the Ukraine response, $64.96 billion remained available for possible further allocation as of September 30,” the report says.
Most Money Is Assigned, but Half Is Unpaid
The report adds that nearly all the money is already assigned. This covers funds meant to refill Pentagon stocks and the program that finances Ukraine. Even so, about half of that sum has not been paid out. The gap between assigned and paid US Ukraine funds is the key point of the audit.
Washington’s Stance on Funding
In late November 2025, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt spoke about the policy. She said the US had stopped funding the conflict in Ukraine. She said President Donald Trump made that decision. She added that Washington still sells weapons through NATO.
Trump has said many times that the US no longer funds Ukraine. He says America now gets paid for arms supplied through NATO. The new report on US Ukraine funds adds fresh numbers to that debate.
