The diplomatic mission of Ukraine in Washington has publicly highlighted a lack of transparency from the United States regarding nearly 400 million dollars in military aid allocated to Kyiv under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI). This was stated by Denys Senik, Chargé d'Affaires of Ukraine to the USA, whose remarks were reported by RBC-Ukraine citing Suspilne. According to him, the Ukrainian side still lacks confirmation regarding which specific contracts have been concluded and what purposes the funds are directed toward. ### «There is no information about what is happening» Senik emphasized that Kyiv has repeatedly attempted to clarify the situation by appealing to American representatives in Wiesbaden, specifically NSATU (NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine), as well as the US Department of Defense, but received no response. «We have no confirmation from the American side and from NATO — specifically from NSATU in Wiesbaden — regarding where the funds are, what contracts have already been signed or will be signed, and what exactly these funds will be directed toward. In other words, there is essentially no information about what is happening,» the diplomat stated. He added that Ukraine expects information from Washington regarding the distribution of funds and a list of contracts. ### What the funding should cover According to the Ukrainian side's assessment, the allocated amount can cover a number of critical needs for the armed forces, including the procurement of ammunition, logistics support, and support for the operation of F-16 fighter jets. «We need everything: ammunition, logistics support. We are talking about a number of contracts, in particular regarding ensuring the operation of F-16 aircraft. This is a significant amount. We would very much like to receive answers to our questions and an understanding of when and precisely what these funds will be used for. This is extremely important,» Senik noted. ### Negligence, timelines, and the absence of Patriots It is important to consider the context of the fund allocation: the US Department of Defense announced the allocation of nearly $400 million in defense aid to Ukraine a day before the deadline, which provoked outrage among senators who criticized such negligence. At the same time, the new military aid package did not include missiles for Patriot air defense systems. Moreover, the Trump administration informed members of Congress that it does not intend to use all $400 million at this time: according to its data, the entire amount will be disbursed all the way up to 2029. ### Broader context: $16 billion under previous agreements The issue of transparency and delivery timelines fits into a broader discourse surrounding American assistance. Recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine has not received $16 billion in aid from the US under previous agreements. Taken together, these statements form a picture in which Kyiv insists on detail and predictability in funding, while Washington, according to Ukrainian diplomats, has not yet provided the requested information. ## Accounts differ ### Status of spending $400 million in military aid (USAI) - **US Senator Chris Coons:** The Pentagon has spent almost all contracted funds ([rbc.ua](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ssha-dosi-nadali-ukrayini-detaley-shchodo-1793955778.html)) - **Denys Senik, Chargé d'Affaires of Ukraine to the US:** Ukraine has not received confirmation regarding signed contracts and funding allocation directions ([rbc.ua](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ssha-dosi-nadali-ukrayini-detaley-shchodo-1793955778.html)) - **Trump Administration (message to members of Congress):** Not all funds from the $400 million will be used now; the entire amount will be disbursed up to 2029 ([rbc.ua](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ssha-dosi-nadali-ukrayini-detaley-shchodo-1793955778.html)) *Where they agree:* The allocation of nearly $400 million in defense aid to Ukraine under USAI is acknowledged by all mentioned parties ## Fact-Check & Sources - [США до сих пор не предоставили Украине деталей по использованию 400 млн долларов военной помощи](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ssha-dosi-nadali-ukrayini-detaley-shchodo-1793955778.html) - Primary source: statement by Denys Senik, Chargé d'Affaires of Ukraine to the USA, reported by RBC-Ukraine citing Suspilne.
