U.S. Assistance to the Former Soviet Union [Updated March 1, 2007]
From the Summary: "Since 1992, the United States has provided more than $28 billion in assistance to the 12 states of the former Soviet Union (FSU). It continues to provide nearly $2 billion annually. This report describes the broad framework of U.S. assistance programs and policies in the region and then focuses on the FREEDOM Support Act (FSA) account under the foreign operations budget which, encompassing all U.S. objectives in the region, has often been the means by which Congress has expressed its views and sought to influence policy. Three objectives have been most prominent in the U.S. assistance program to the region - facilitating the transition from authoritarianism to democracy, promoting the introduction and growth of free market economies, and fostering security by controlling the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and expertise. More recently, a fourth objective, very much encompassing the other three, has emerged - supporting the war on terror. A fifth objective of U.S. assistance, humanitarian relief, was mostly applied in the early 1990s in response to countries experiencing food shortages."

U.S. Assistance to the Former Soviet Union [April 14, 2005]
From the Summary: "Under the control of the State Department's Coordinator of U.S. Assistance to Europe and Eurasia and encompassing all U.S. policy objectives, the FSA account has been a special interest of Congress since its creation in 1992. About $10.5 billion of the $26 billion in total U.S. aid provided between 1992 and 2004 has come from the FSA account. In its FY2006 foreign operations budget, the Administration requested $482 million for the FSA account, a 13% decrease from the FY2005 appropriation. The request for Department of Defense (DOD) Cooperative Threat Reduction programs was $415.5 million, and the Department of Energy's (DOE) various FSU nonproliferation programs would add up to $525.7 million in FY2006, both slight increases from the previous year."
