Marjorie Taylor Greene: “my amendment prohibits the assistance to Ukraine in the NDAA. This bill provides approximately $700 million in funding…”

“my amendment prohibits the assistance to Ukraine in the NDAA. This bill provides approximately $700 million in funding for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative over fiscal year 2026 and 2027 for training, equipment, lethal assistance, supplies and services, and intelligence support to the military and national security forces of Ukraine. The administration has even raised strong objections against extending the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and authorizing additional funding for it, yet somehow, the NDAA contains $700 million. The administration said--and this comes from a letter from the office of the OMB--the administration "strongly objects" to sections 1223 and 1227, as these provisions extend the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and authorizes additional funding. "Similarly, the administration objects to section 1224, which requires the creation of a depot-level maintenance plan in conjunction with the Ukrainian Government. Furthermore, the administration strongly objects to section 1228, which usurps the administration's authority to dictate the terms of its intelligence support to the Ukrainian Government. These four provisions do not advance the administration's objective to end the conflict in Ukraine."”
