To amend the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act to authorize the use of amounts in the Ukraine Support Fund for purchases by the Government of Ukraine of defense articles and services to respond to and recover from the consequences of the aggression of the Russian Federation.

HR9451 is a bill introduced by Rep. Wilson (R-SC) on June 24, 2026, and referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. It amends the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act to authorize the use of amounts in the Ukraine Support Fund for purchases by the Government of Ukraine of defense articles and services to respond to Russian aggression. The bill is in early stage with only three actions: introduction and referral. It does not appropriate new funds; it authorizes expenditure from an existing fund. Thus, the money trail is dependent on future appropriations and the current balance of the Ukraine Support Fund. The defense sector is the direct beneficiary, specifically US prime contractors who supply weapons to Ukraine via Foreign Military Sales or Direct Commercial Sales. Companies like Lockheed Martin ($LMT), Raytheon, Northrop Grumman ($NOC), General Dynamics ($GD), and Boeing have existing contracts and are positioned to receive additional orders if the fund is tapped. However, timeline is uncertain; the bill must pass both chambers and be signed by the President. Given early stage, passage odds are moderate but impact is contingent on subsequent actions.
