| 11.88 | Replenishment of US stocks | Does not give any indication on the actual Presidential Drawdown Authority. We count the authority above and in our dataset, but counting both entries would result in double counting. | ||

| Summing up: | ||||
| What we do not count | 49.31 | US bilateral aid NOT appropriated for Ukraine | ||
| What we count | 95.19 | All US bilataral aid appropriated (=bookmarked) for Ukraine | ||
| Sum (in billion USD) | 144.49 | |||
| In a further step we correct the amount we count as aid for Ukraine ($95.19 billion USD) for double counting. | ||||
| Correction for Drawdowns | 3 | Increased Authorities | The Additional 2022 and 2023 acts provide increases in the Presidential Drawdown Authority. The acts list the total amounts of $11 and $14.5, not the increases. | |
| 3.7 | Increased Authorities | We therefore must correct for the baseline values introduced in the USAA 2022 and USAA 2022 by subtracting them since they are already in the Authority position in the AUSAA 2022 and 2023. | ||
| 0.26 | Military Assistance | Furthermore, we correct for $260 million in Presidential Drawdowns that occured in August and December 2021, as these do not fall in the timeframe of our dataset. | ||
| Furthermore, we correct for unused budgets. Since funds from the acts can usually only be used in their respective fiscal year, we correct for not obligated positions, i.e. funds, that have not been used and are therefore lost. | ||||
| Correction for unused budgets in FY2022 | 3.103 | Department of State | The information of non-obligated ("unused") budgets is provided by the Congressional Research Service for military and humanitarian aid, and double checked with information on humanitarian aid by the USAID. | |
| 1.775 | Increased Authorities | Unused military budgets are: $1.775 billion in Presidential Drawdown Authority for the Fiscal Year 2022, $3.103 billion from the FMF budget for the FY2022. | ||
| 7.1 | Department of State, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) | Unused humanitarian budgets are: $7.1 billion over the entire humanitarian aid appropriated by the Department of State and USAID. | ||
| Through these corrections, we arrive at the actual aid commitments to Ukraine: | ||||
| Actual US aid commitments to Ukraine | 76.25 | This sum in billion USD represents the actual aid commitments to Ukraine from the US, between January 24, 2022 and January 15, 2023. | ||
