RAZOM APPLAUDS SENATE PASSAGE OF NDAA WITH KEY PROVISIONS FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE

Washington, D.C., October 10, 2025 — Razom for Ukraine applauds the Senate’s passage of the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which will significantly advance President Trump’s efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine and end Russia’s invasion. As the NDAA moves to formal conference, we urge Congress to preserve the many pro-Ukraine and pro-peace provisions included in the Senate version. Razom also applauds Senators Klobuchar (D-MN) and Grassley (R-IA) for S. 2119, the Abducted Ukrainian Children Recovery and Accountability Act — incorporated into the Senate NDAA — to help return tens of thousands of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia and hold perpetrators accountable.

The Senate NDAA equips President Trump with additional tools to push the Kremlin into negotiations to end the war. Razom welcomes the inclusion of provisions that support Ukraine’s defense and the deterrence of future Russian aggression, as well as the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which creates American jobs to revitalize the U.S. defense industrial base while saving lives in Ukraine. We encourage President Trump to issue USAI contracts and get Americans back to work rebuilding the Arsenal of Democracy, especially for desperately needed Patriot air defenses. We particularly applaud Senate Armed Services Chairman Wicker and Ranking Member Reed for their leadership in ensuring the inclusion of these important provisions.
