https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/us-lawmakers-seek-750-mln-ukraine-rename-pentagon-department-war-defense-bill-2026-06-11/WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday said it voted to extend U.S. security assistance for Ukraine and increase authorized funding to $750 million, the latest pushback from Congress against the Trump administration's pullback on aid for Kyiv as it fights a Russian invasion.The Republican-majority panel said it had completed its version of the NDAA, an annual bill setting policy for the Pentagon, that included $750 million for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which pays U.S. companies for weapons for Ukraine's military.The massive Senate bill, which supports a total of $1.15 trillion for defense, determines everything from how many ships, aircraft and missile systems are bought to pay raises for the troops and how to address geopolitical threats.The Senate text announced on Thursday also prohibits funds authorized by the NDAA from being obligated or expended to implement any activity that recognizes the sovereignty of Russia over the internationally recognized territory of Ukraine, and directs the Department to provide intelligence support to Kyiv for the purpose of supporting military operations to defend or take back that territory.The Senate panel released its bill a week after the House of Representatives passed legislation to provide aid to Ukraine and impose new sanctions on Russia.The Senate's version of the National Defense Authorization Act also changed the name of the Department of Defense to Department of War, two people familiar with the bill told Reuters.
MUNITIONS AND WEAPONS PROCUREMENTThe Senate committee's bill provides multi-year procurement authority for several types of munitions and weapons including Boeing-made (BA.N), opens new tab F-15EX fighter jets and F-35 fighter jets made by Lockheed Martin.This year's legislation remains several steps away from becoming law.Now that the House and Senate panels have approved their bills, they must be approved separately by the full House and Senate. After that, members of the two committees must agree on a compromise version of the bill, which must then pass the House and Senate before being sent to the White House for Trump to sign into law or veto.The House committee's version of the NDAA also backed Trump's desire - opposed by Democrats - to change the name of the Department of Defense to Department of War.While many members of Congress from both parties strongly supported Ukraine in the first years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, some of Trump's closest Republican allies - including House and Senate leadership - have grown cooler towards Kyiv since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.U.S. aid to Kyiv has slowed sharply even as Russia and Ukraine pummel each other with missiles, drones and artillery. Peace talks are stalled, with Ukraine rejecting Russian President Vladimir Putin's demand that it surrender territory it has successfully defended since 2022.
>>1519225>Democrats attempting to increase defense spendingThe parties have flipped again, it seems.
>>1519233Its more about where the money goes. Why does Israel need money? Are they poor? Can they not afford their military?
>>1519234Too bad leftists didn't let us expel the jews decades ago.
>>1519235>us Who?
>>1519234I heard that Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe as of 2013Should we really be giving them money and arms?
>>1519248>we
>>1519238>>1519250Are you Jewish?
>>1519248I mean they've managed to hold off Russia for the past 4 years, so seems like they're putting those money and arms we give them to good use. If they were corrupt their leaders would have sold it all off and fled the country once Russia steamrolled them.
>>1519234>he thinks Israel still won't get paid
>>1519225>>The Republican-majority panel said it had completed its version of the NDAA>>1519233>>Democrats attempting to increase defense spendingMakes you wonder why ESL shills keep slinging this shit if they know Republicans are weak losers who can't even run the government when they control the whole thing. If Democrats run the whole show, why not just elect them directly?
>>15192482013 was a long fucking time ago. Now they got ziggers to kill by the bucketload and strong anti-corruption efforts.
>>1519248We must send weapons to Ukraine to kill the ziggers, goy, otherwise they will commit a holocaust against ukrainians and march across europe!
>>1519259Haven't you got a /chug/ thread to shit up

>>1519248You seem to be under the impression they are just being given money. Its not, it's more like a store credit they can use to buy leftover cold war shit that we're getting rid of anyway. Sometimes we even toss them newer shit to get real world combat data on it, because that data is worth more than the handful of units out of a million ordered cost to make.
>>1519297 (me)Furthermore it puts those armed forced as using our stuff as their standard, meaning in the event they win their war, they are now stuck buying equipment from us for a long time.
>>1519297>>1519299esl shill don't careesl shill just thinks these things should go to Israel instead
>>1519248Giving weapons to Ukraine has been one of the best ROI things America has done in the last 50 years. In the early years of the war, we were able to effectively decimate Russia's stockpile of armored vehicles simply by giving Ukraine the surplus of our most aging weapons systems. Do you realize how perfect that turned out for us? We made those weapons to kill Soviets thinking that Americans would have to be fighting them, but instead we just gave them to Ukraine and they killed the Russians for free. It's been a great deal for us.
>>1519328>We made those weapons to kill Soviets thinking that Americans would have to be fighting them.No we didn't. Do you not understand how long we've been fighting proxy wars?
>>1519329even so. We got rid of stockpiles of ancient cold war equipment, and have wrecked havoc on our longest standing enemy without a single american boot touching the ground. Russia could win the war right this minute and it will have still come at a cost so insanely high their military and demographics will take generations to recover from. Napoleon would be impressed by a strategic move this good.
>>1519329>America wants to make new shit for next generation of combat>No room to store it >Give old shit away to a country in a war with one of your greatest adversaries >Room to make the new shit>People who work in defense contracting (one of America’s only real industries) get more jobsThis is how it’s supposed to work

>>1519353As someone who works in this industry, you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. Trying to act smarter than everyone by pretending to be esoteric and saying that everyone else is being tricked by the Jews but you just makes you seem like a total retard

>>1519248>2013So under Yanukovich? No surprise there.>>1519234Israel doesn't even receive that much money. It's $3.8 billion annually but that's about 0.2% of the deficit.
It's weird how leftists never talk about redistributing the money going to Israel back into American pockets.
It's weird how rightists never talk about their money going to Trump and his billionaire buddies not 'trickling down into their pockets.
>pay no attention to israel getting billions of dollars goy, it's the republicans that are to blame!Why is it always the communists that do this shit Oh wait I know lol
>israel>Republicans>communistsWhy is it always capitalists that do this shit?Oh wait I know, lol
