Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Stand with Ukraine Act of 2024 authorizes enhanced U.S. military and security support for Ukraine to defend against Russian aggression and implements the 10-year bilateral security agreement signed between the U.S. and Ukraine in June 2024. The bill provides Ukraine with a wide range of military capabilities including long-range precision fires, air defense systems, naval equipment, and support for modernizing Ukraine's armed forces to operate according to NATO standards. The legislation affects primarily Ukraine and U.S. military and State Department agencies responsible for implementing the security partnership, while also benefiting Eastern European nations impacted by Russian invasion. Key provisions include requiring annual congressional reports on unfunded priorities for Ukraine support, fast-tracking military sales through the Foreign Military Sales program, treating Ukraine as a major non-NATO ally for arms transfers, and authorizing the president to loan or lease defense articles to Ukraine through fiscal year 2035. The bill directs the president to submit a 5-year plan for excess defense article transfers within 90 days and emphasizes support for Ukraine's post-war recovery and reconstruction, including humanitarian demining efforts.
