    How would removing the five-year limit on defense article leases to Ukraine and Eastern Europe change the types or quantities of military equipment the U.S. could provide?

  2. 02

    What oversight mechanisms would remain in place if Congress waives typical lending requirements for defense articles to these countries during 2026 and 2027?

  3. 03

    Which specific defense articles does the current five-year restriction prevent from being leased, and how would extending lease periods address those gaps?
