It should also be taken into account that $24 billion was not included in the US government's 45-day funding project.

USA and Ukraine: what is known
- The US House of Representatives passed a 45-day budget resolution on September 30. It provides assistance in eliminating the consequences of natural disasters. This was a key step in avoiding a government shutdown. The funding was supported by 335 members of the House of Representatives.
- The US House of Representatives voted to allocate $300 million to Ukraine in support of Ukraine. These funds were removed from the US defense budget proposal.
- The $300 million, however, is not related to the additional $24 billion in funding for Ukraine and related spending that the White House invited in August, which also drew resistance from the far right Republicans
