fact checkImportant to read this carefully: USAI being zeroed in the request is not the same as aid ending. Presidential drawdown authority and FMF are separate buckets and historically that's been ~60% of the actual flow. The headline is scary but the operative number won't be set until conference.
Selected passage
The Pentagon's proposed FY2027 budget excluded new funding for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, effectively zeroing out future military aid allocations for Kyiv under the program.

USAI zero-out is real but not the whole aid picture; drawdown authority and FMF remain the operative levers.
