    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 506(a)(1) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (the ``Act'') (22 U.S.C. 2318(a)(1)) and 
Presidential Delegation of Authority dated May 31, 2023, I hereby 
determine that:
     an unforeseen emergency exists which requires immediate 
military assistance to Ukraine; and
     the emergency requirement cannot be met under the 
authority of the Arms Export Control Act or any other provision of law.
    I, therefore, pursuant to authority delegated to me by the 
President, direct the drawdown of up to $300 million in defense 
articles and services of the Department of Defense, and military 
education and training, under the authority of section 506(a)(1) of the
