According to the NYT, the White House has asked the US Congress to approve nearly $24 billion in funding to support Ukraine.

Of this, $13.1 billion is for emergency military assistance to Ukraine, $8.5 billion is for humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and other countries affected by the conflict from now until the end of the year, and $2.3 billion is for mobilizing funding through the World Bank. This proposal must be approved by the US Congress before it can be disbursed.
The proposal, part of a $40 billion spending package that would also cover domestic disaster relief and border enforcement, could add to tensions in the already contentious spending debate when Congress returns in September, with some opponents of continuing to fund Ukraine.
