The aid package will include sniper rifles., grenade launchers, and counter-artillery radars for the Ukrainian Navy, special operations forces, and land troops. Electronic warfare detection equipment, night vision technology, and military medical equipment will also be included. This additional equipment lbri 1g 1 tqtal, U.S. security assistance to Ukraine to $1. 5 billion since 2014, accoJ.Tdim$1»,fhe 1 ,, 1 Pentagon. ' ,· ,,'.11 ' I 1 1 I· I "1 think the provision of security assistance to Ukrnine is vitally important. I think it has had an impact both psychologically as well as militarily on the professionalization and the capacity of the Ukrainian forces," Kurt Volker, the U.S. special representative for Ukraine, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a Tuesday hearing. "I think it's also important that Ukraine reciprocate with foreign military purchases from us as well, and I know that they intend to do so." The assistance comes at a pivotal moment for Ukraine's newly minted president. Volodymyr Zelensky, a popular comedian who won a landslide victory in April. Zelensky has made ending the Russian-backed insUJrection in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region his top political priority. The conflict remains in an uneasy stalemate following international attempts to broker a ceasefire. Tensions spiked in November when Russian forces captured and detained 24 sailors following an attack on three Ukrainian vessels. "We must become Icelanders in football, Israelis in defending our native land, Japanese in technology," Zelensky said during his swearing-in speech in May. "Our first task is to achieve a ceasefire in Don bas." Volker told senators the United States should continue to add maritime and air defense capabilities to the Ukrainian arsenal as Russia continues to pose a threat in the Black Sea. "1 think it's important that NATO stand up to make clear that all of us have an interest in the f reedom of navigation, the open access, the economic development of the region, and the security of the region," he said. The U.S. created the EUiopean Deterrence Initiative in 2014 jn response to Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea territory. Congress authorized the sale of lethal aid to Ukraine that year, but the Obama administration did not sign off on the provision due to concerns that offensive weapons could escalate tensions. U.S. s pport was limited to non-lethal aid until President Trump reversed the policy i.n AMER IC/\ {µJi.!f- 1:tgh Ws administration proposed a 10% cut to the fund in this year's et lp oposal. PVER AO v 0MB, DoD Release 28 Feb 20 022 Rick Berger, a former Senate Budget Committee staffer who studies defense budgets for the American Enterprise Institute, told the fiVashington Examiner there is broad bipartisan support for continuing aid to Ukraine. He expects Congress will increase Ukrainian military suppo1t, saying there is minimal concern regarding escalation on Capitol Hill. "These aid packages are very well tailored to the things that, by and large, the Ukrainian military actually needs," Berger said. "Congress cares about Ukraine in a bipartisan fashion, and I wouldn't be surprised if (aid] goes up again in this year's" National Defense Authorization Act. The fate of next year's defense budget remains unclear, however, as congressional leaders wrangle over the federal budget as a whole.

Please feel free to provide us answers as they are available to speed things along, rather than waiting on all response!i to be completed. 1.. Please compile an execution history of the Ukraine Security Assistanc.e Initiative, to include the approximate dates of appropriations, notifications, NDAA certifications, apportionments and obligations for FY18 and FY19. j)vfR rn-tf5expired since the initiative was started and It so, how much and why? AO v 0MB, DoD Release 28 Feb 20 044 3, When was the prohibition on lethal aid li'fted and when did we start providlng such aid anq in which account and for what purpose? 4. Provide copies of the notification,s sent to the congressional defe.nse commiUees for the 2019 Ukraine funds. Is DoD now executing the same spend plan as was provi,ded in the earlier notiforntions? Atthe time those notifications were sent, were the funds c1vailable to DoD far executron? If so, why wer,e they not obligated soon after the notifications were sent? 5, Will the remaining funds rescinded/re-appr-opriated under the CR need to be re-notified; or, if the Department hasni't changed those plans, can they just be obligated? What steps is DOD taking to obligate those funds by the end of the CR period i.e. November. 6. At the time of the submission of the 2019 budget request, did DoD have a plan for how the $250 million for Ukraine in the PB would be spent? If so, did DoD encounter any need to change or alter that spend plan between the time of the budget submission and the provision of thos.e funds by Congress in the September 2018 omnibus appropriation? 7. How many contracting actions (approximation is okay) are needed to obligate the 2019 funds? What is the main challenge to obligating the:avaifable funds in the time between the September apportionment and the end of the fiscal year? 8. Press reports indicate that DoD conducted a review of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. Was there a re•view of the program, who conducted it, what was evaluated, and what were the conclusions of the revi,ew?

U.S. orders Freeze of Foreign Aid, 'Bypass.ing congress New York Times, Aug. 8 (0415), Pg. A12 I Edward Wong The Trump administration has ot'dered the state Department and 1:he United S"tat:es Agency 'for International Development to fre-eze much of the remaining money for foreign ai(l this yeat·, in a move that suggests the funding could be cut altogether. The decision, issued in a letter l)y th-e office of Management and Budget, covers a broad range of foreign aid that Congress had already approved. It halted, as of Saturday, the agencies' abilitY to d1stribute what the decision'.s critics estiinated to be $2 bil1ion to $4 bi11ion of funding, The State Department and the aid a_gency, commonly known as u_s.A.I.D., t11ust give ''an accounting'' of all "unobligated resources" of foreign aid, meaning funding that has not been officially designated yet for specific purposes, the letter said. Tl:'ie letter identified 10 areas of aid to which the freeze would apply, including developmen-c assistance, global health, contr;butions to intern.atfonal organizations, ir.ternationa7 narcotics control and peacekeeping activities. The money under review covers the fi seal years ,2018 and 2019 1 which ends on Sept. 30. Agencies often wait unt·il the end of a fiscal year t.o designate funds. ''This administration's contempt for congress is astounding,'' Representative liot L_ ngel, Democrat of Ne,v York and chair-man of the House f!'orei gn Affairs Commi.ttee. ·said in a statement on Wednesday. ' '\ •hen Congress decides how much we 5pe,nd on foreign .i.ssistance, it isn't a suggestion. It's the law, backed up by die cons ti tutio,n. ' ' critics of the order noted tha't the funding was less than one-tenth of one percent f the federal budget. ''In a reck1ess and irresponsible move, o.M.B. appears set on taking a sledgehammer to one of the mo.st minuscule parts of the entire federal budget that would significantly difmag America's security and economic interests -- and thwart congressional authority,'' said Liz schrayer the chief executive of the U.S. Global Leader hip coalition, a nonprofit group that is ah advocate for American diplomacy and counts large companies and nongovernmental organizations as members. The order came at the start of a long congressional recess, but lawmakers .are asking the State Department about the decision. A ser,ior Democratic aide said on Tuesday that congress had al locatec! the funds to prntect national security interests, The move would set a precedent for future administrations to ignore spending bills and elimin;.'te spending obligations, the aide said, speaking on the condition of anonyn1it / because members of congress were still determining how to respond. A spokeswoman for the budget office, Rachel Semmel, said that federal agencies had a responsibility to properly use the money provided by congress. "In an effor-t: to ens1..1re accountability, o.r,,j,B, has requested the current status of several foreign assistance accounts to identify the amount of fundi 119 that is unobligated,'' she said. A State Department representarive acknowl,edged the review and said only, ''No decision has been made on What Wi11 be done Wi'th tho.se fuhds.'' Addit:iohal ciuesi:toris were referred to the office of M.'.Hia emetit and Budget. The New York Times obtained a copy of the office's let1:er on Tues I w1ll ur,date you toh1orrow.

Electronic warfare detection equipment, night vision technology, and military medical equipment will also be included. This additional equipment brings total U.S. security to Ukraine to $1.5 bi]Jjon 2014. according to the Pentagon. assistance since "I think tl1e provision of security assistanoe to Ukraine is vitaJly important. I U1ink it has had an impact both psychologically as well as militarily on the professionalization and the capacity of Af\1 tb UAlatnjan forces, 11 Kurt Volker, the U.S. special representativeforUkraine, told the Senate pv ·s .ftf Committee at a Tuesday hearing. AO v 0MB, DoD Release 28 Feb 20 111 "I think it's also impo1tant that Ukraine reciprocate with foreign military purchases from us as well, and I know that they intend to do so." The assistance comes at a pivotal moment for Ukraine's newly minted president, Volodymyr Zelensky, a popular comedian who won a landslide victory in April. Zelensky has made ending the Russian-backed insurrection in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region his top political priority. The conflict remains in an uneasy stalemate following international attempts to broker a ceasefire. Tensions spiked in November when Russian forces captured and detained 24 sailors following an attack on three Ukrainian vessels. "We must become Icelanders in football, Israelis in defending our native land, Japanese in technology," Zelensky said during his swearing-in speech in May "Our first task is to achieve a ceasefire in Donbas." Volker told senators the United States should continue to add maritime and air defense capabilities to the Ukrainian arsenal as Russia continues to pose a threat in the Black Sea. ''I think it's important that NATO stand up to make clear that all ofus have an interest in the freedom of navigation, the open access, the economic development of the region, and the security of the region,'' he said. The US. created the European Deterrence Initiative in 2014 in response to Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea territory. Congress authorized the sale oflethal aid to Ukraine that year, but the Obama administration did not sign off on the provision due to concerns t11at offensive weapons coul.d escalate tensions. U.S. support was limited to non-lethal aid until President Trump reversed the policy in 2017, though his administration proposed a 10% cut to the fund in this year's budget proposal. Rick Berger, a former Senate Budget Committee staffer who studies defense budgets for the American Enterprise Institute, told the Washington Examiner there is broad bipartisan support for continuing aid to Ukraine. He expects Congress will increase Ukrainian military support, saying there is minimal concern regarding escalation on Capitol Hill. "These aid packages are very well tailored to the things that, by and large, the Ukrainian military actually needs," Berger said. "Congress cares about Ukraine in a bipa11isan fashion, and I wouldn't be surprised if [aid] goes up again in this year's" National Defense Authorization Act. The fate of next year's defense budget remains unclear, however, as congressional Ieaders wrangle over the federal budget as a whole.

"It's very important to talk about corruption," Mr. Trump said at a United Nations event. "If you don't talk about corruption, why would you give money to a country that you think is corrupt?" Later in the day, he said he didn't draw that connection in his call with the president of Ukraine. "I did not make a statement that you have to do this or I won't give you aid," he said. "I didn't put any pressure on them whatsoever." But, he added: "I think it would probably, possibly have been OK if I did." On July 25, Mr. Trump in a phone call urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, on a probe that would produce infonnation about Mr. Biden and his son, The Wall Street Journal report.ed. 1V1r. Giuliani had met with an official from the Ukrainian prosecutor general's office the previous month to discuss such a probe. Messrs. Tmmp and Giuliani have pressed for an inquiry into Mr. Bi den's anticonuption efforts in Ukraine while he was vice president and while his son Hunter Biden had business interests there. Ukraine's prosecutor general at the time said earlier this year he had no evidence of wrongdoing by Mr. Biden or his son. On Saturday, Joe Biden said he had never discussed with his son any overseas business dealings and accused Mr. Trump of abusing his office. The administration's reason for putting a hold on the Ukraine funds-which for weeks this summer proved elusive to lawmakers who were eager for answers-is at the center of the expanding investigation on Capitol Hill into whether there was any connection between the review of foreign aid and efforts by the president and Mr. Giuliani to urge Ukraine to investigate Mr. Eiden. The examination of 1V1r. Trump's dealings with his Ukrainian counterpart is likely to escalate this week as Congress continues to probe a whistleblower complaint concerning Mr. Tmmp, an aspect of which involves the Ukraine call, according to a person familiar with the matter. Ukrainian officials earlier this month expressed concern to U.S. senators that the aid had been held up as a penalty for resisting that pressure. "They worried the aid that was being cut off to Ukraine by the president was a consequence for their unwillingness at the time to investigate the Bidens," said Sen. Chris Murphy (D., Conn.), who earlier this month met in Ukraine with Mr. Zelensky and other officials. The Ukrainian Embassy in Washington didn't respond to a request for comment on l\fr. Murphy's remarks. On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) called on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) to launch an investigation touching on who directed the suspension of aid, saying it should be part of a broader probe. Mr. McConnell, speaking on the Senate floor, said he urged the administration to release its hold on the aid "throughout July, August and early September," adding that he twice urged Mr. Esper to do so and made a similar plea to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The Democratic chairmen of the House foreign affairs, intelligence and oversight committees also sent a letter to Mr. Pompeo threatening to issue a subpoena if the department didn't begin turning over related documents. The State Department didn't respond to a request for comment. For weeks, as lawmakers lobbied Mr Trump to release the Ukraine money personally and called officials across his administration, they kept getting shifting responses, according to multiple interviews over the past few weeks. lVJr I rn tpld,s e la makers that other countries weren't spen?ing enough to bols er Ukraine, abcor1 ii!i'gts: e otfahuhar with the matter.

Thanks, Mike >https://www. washingtonexam in er .com/policy/def e nse-na t1onal- secu rity/pentagon-to-send-250m-in-weapons-to-ukra i ne< AMERICAN pVERSIGHT AO v 0MB, DoD Release 28 Feb 20 236 Pentagon to send $250M in weapons to Ukraine by Russ Read I lune 19, 2019 01:17 PM The Department of Defense plans to send $250 million in military equipment to Ukraine to assist in building up the country's military capabilities as it continues to counter Russian-backed forces in its eastern provinces. The aid package will include sniper rifles, grenade launchers, and counter-artillery radars for the Ukrainian Navy, special operations forces, and land troops. Electronic warfare detection equipment, night vision technology, and military medical equipment will a.Jso be included. This additional equipment brings total U.S. secmity assistance to Ukraine to$ l.5 billion since 2014, according to the Pentagon. "I think the provision of secw-ity assistance to Ukraine is vita Uy important. I think it has had an impact both psychologically as well as militarily on the professiona.Jization and the capacity of the Ukrainian forces," Kul't Volker, the U.S. special representative for Ukraine, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a Tuesday hearing, ''I think it's also important that Ukraine reciprocate with foreign military purchases from us as well, and I know that they intend to do so." The assistance comes at a pivotaJ moment for Ukraine's newly minted president, Volodymyr Zelensky, a popular comedian who won a landslide victory in April. Zelensky has made ending the Russian-backed insunection in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region his top political priority. The conflict remains in an uneasy stalemate following international attempts to broker a ceasefire. Tensions spiked in November when Russian forces captured and detained 24 sailors following an attack on three Ukrainian vessels. "We must become Icelanders in football, Israelis in defending our native land, Japanese in technology," Zelensky said during his swearing-in speech in May. "Our first task is to achieve a ceasefire in Don bas." Volker told senators the United States should continue to add AMERICAN pVERSIGHT AO v 0MB, DoD Release 28 Feb 20 237 maritime and air defense capabilities to the Ukrainian arsenal as Russia continues to pose a threat in the Black Sea. "I think it's important that NATO stand up to make clear that all of us have an interest in the freedom of navigation, the open access, the economic development of the region, and the security of the region," he said. The U.S. created the European Deterrence Initiative in 2014 in response to Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea territory. Congress authorized the sale of lethal aid to Ukraine that year, but the Obama administration did not sign off on the provision due to concerns that offensive weapons could escalate tensions. U.S. support was limited to non-lethal aid until President Trump reversed the policy in 2017, though his administration proposed a 10% cut to the fund in this year's budget proposal. Rick Berger, a former Senate Budget Committee staffer who studies defense budgets for the American Enterprise Institute, told the Washington Examiner there is broad bipartisan support for continuing aid to Ukraine. He expects Congress will increase Ukrainian military support, saying there is minimal concern regarding escalation on Capitol Hill. "These aid packages are very well tailored to the things that, by and large, the Ukrainian military actually needs," Berger said. "Congress ca.res about Ukraine in a bipartisan fashion, and I wouldn't be sw·prised if [aid] goes up again in this year's" National Defense Authorization Act. The fate of next year's defense budget remains unclear, however, as congressional leaders wrangle over the federal budget as a whole. AMERICAN pVERSIGHT AO v 0MB, DoD Release 28 Feb 20 238
