On Tuesday night, July 22, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly rejected an amendment introduced by Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) that sought to bar Pentagon funding from being used for Ukraine security assistance, except for funds allocated to the security of the U.S. embassy in Ukraine.

The amendment was part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and was defeated by a vote of 76 to 350. This vote ensures continued Pentagon support for Ukraine beyond embassy security funding.

The House's decisive rejection reflects broad legislative support for maintaining comprehensive security assistance to Ukraine amid ongoing geopolitical concerns.
