Most Ukrainian aid is spent in the U.S. and invested in communities across a majority of the states

• Ukraine is immediately supplied with weapons and defense systems from existing U.S. stocks and, in turn, replacements are ordered and purchased from U.S. defense contractors and other U.S. suppliers.  The aid money stays in the U.S. and helps keep production lines open, allows for purchases of newer, more advanced replacement weapons for the U.S. and provides jobs for Americans.

• Funds for Ukraine aid are used to secure long-term contracts directly with U.S. defense contractors for new weapon systems to be delivered to Ukraine.  The aid money stays in the U.S., helps lower overall weapon costs for the U.S. as a result of long-term commitments, and provides jobs for Americans.

• The U.S. uses funds for Ukraine aid to expand existing production capability with new production lines. This permits enhanced delivery volumes for Ukraine and greatly improves defense industrial capacity that is required for the U.S. itself. In an important example, current 155mm artillery ammunition cannot be produced at rates that would be needed in a major conflict; yet now, production capacity will be increased  sevenfold thanks to investment in aid to Ukraine.
