Became Law
Summary
This law creates a temporary, expedited pathway that lets the President lend or lease U.S. defense equipment to Ukraine and affected Eastern European governments. It aims to bolster their defense capabilities and protect civilian populations.
Show full summary
- Ukraine and Eastern European governments can receive "defense articles" under this authority for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 to strengthen defenses and shield civilians from aggression.
- For Ukraine-specific uses the law excludes Section 503(b)(3) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and Section 61 of the Arms Export Control Act, reducing some statutory limitations on loans or leases.
- Loans or leases must still follow laws about return, reimbursement, and repayment. The President may delegate this authority only to a Senate-confirmed official and must establish expedited delivery procedures within 60 days.
