The Ukrainian Parliament’s Temporary Special Commission on monitoring the receipt and use of international military aid has published a report.
The commission reviewed the tracking, distribution, and effectiveness of foreign military assistance provided to Ukraine. Key international programs include:
Czech Initiative 1 (launched in 2024): Led by the Czech Republic and joined by 16 countries, the program aims to supply 155mm artillery rounds. 85% of the initiative has been completed.
Czech Initiative 2 (launched in 2025): Also coordinated by the Czech Republic with 10 participating countries. Focuses on artillery rounds of various calibers. Implemented at 5%.
Windfall 1 (launched in 2024): Funded from windfall profits of frozen Russian assets. Operated by the European Commission with four participating countries. Targets include €721.7M for artillery systems and ammunition, €275.5M for air defense, and €390M for investment in Ukraine’s defense industry. Fully implemented in the industrial segment; 65% completed in military procurement.
Windfall 2 (launched in 2025): Managed by the European Commission with seven countries involved. Allocates €635M for artillery, €216M for air defense, and €1B for Ukraine’s defense industry. Currently at an early stage of implementation.
ERA – European Recapitalization Assistance (launched in 2025): Led by the United Kingdom. Aims to procure and deliver artillery, air defense, and long-range strike capabilities worth over £1.5B. Implementation has begun, currently at 1.4%.
USAI – Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (since 2022): Managed by the U.S. Department of Defense. Focuses on long-term support by purchasing weapons from American manufacturers, supporting Ukraine’s defense industry, transferring technology and equipment, providing training, logistics, and expanding production of ammunition, drones, and critical defense systems. Total support estimated at $33.2B from FY2022 to FY2024. Remains a cornerstone of U.S. defense support to Ukraine.
PDA – Presidential Drawdown Authority: Allows direct transfer of weapons and equipment from U.S. military stockpiles via presidential decision, enabling urgent battlefield support. 74 aid packages worth over $33.9B (FY2022–FY2024) have included armored vehicles (Bradley, Stryker, MaxxPro), artillery, air defense systems (Stinger, HAWK, Patriot), drones, EW tools, and medical equipment. Stock limitations may affect future deliveries.
FMF – Foreign Military Financing: U.S. grants via the State Department for Ukraine to procure American defense equipment and services under Foreign Military Sales. Includes training and support. $6.7B approved for Ukraine, focusing on air defense, drones, secure communications, and cyber capabilities.
JUMPSTART – Joint Ukrainian Multinational Program – Services, Training And Articles Rapid Timeline: Supports expedited delivery of weapons, training, and logistics through Foreign Military Sales and multinational co-financing. Also enables third-party funding of U.S.-made military goods for Ukraine.
NATO CAP Fund – Comprehensive Assistance Package: A NATO trust fund financing non-lethal support such as fuel, protective gear, medical supplies, and demining equipment from contributions by partner nations.
Conclusion: The commission emphasized that these programs significantly strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities. Moreover, their implementation is of strategic importance not only for Ukraine’s territorial integrity but also for European and global security. The programs reflect the practical support and solidarity of the international community in confronting aggressive policies that undermine international law.
