The Biden administration is urging Congress to extend the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) to prevent nearly $6 billion in military aid to Ukraine from expiring by the end of September. Pentagon officials state that $5.9 billion remains available, but most of it would vanish without legislative action, which is necessary to continue supplying weapons from U.S. stockpiles to Ukraine. The situation is critical as Ukrainian forces face ongoing threats from Russia, and delays in previous funding have already hindered their defense efforts. The administration has embedded this request within a continuing resolution proposed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, amid concerns about potential legal challenges to the allocation of the funds. If Congress fails to act, Ukraine's military capabilities could suffer significantly, particularly as winter approaches. Meanwhile, over $4 billion in longer-term funding remains accessible until 2025, but it is largely earmarked for future contracts.
