It is the sense of Congress that: The Foreign Assistance Act, section 614, authorizes the President to furnish assistance of up to $250,000,000 in any fiscal year if that country is a victim of active aggression. Ukraine is a victim of active aggression by Russian forces operating under the direction of the Government of the Russian Federation. Ukraine is in need of ammunition and other defensive lethal assistance. Ukraine shall be eligible under United States law to establish Direct Commercial Contracts with these assistance funds for the immediate purchase of ammunition and other lethal assistance.
Contracts should be entered into with companies that have already completed their DCC contractor certification. The President should immediately direct the Department of State, Department of Commerce, and the Department of Defense to issue temporary guidelines for the expedited processing, review, and issuance of commercial contracts for direct purchase of United States defense articles and services from United States firms to be financed with funds under this section.
