How much support Ukraine has received — and how it's being reported differently
The United States and Russia are both attempting to curtail the flow of aid to Ukraine, seeking to force Kyiv into signing a so-called "peace" deal on Moscow's terms.
Against the backdrop of recent statements by U.S. officials—including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth—regarding plans to reduce aid to Ukraine, we take a look at how much assistance has been provided to Ukraine between 2022 and 2024, and who the major contributors are.
According to the independent economic think tank Center for Economic Strategy, Ukraine has received $287 billion in international aid (military, budgetary, humanitarian) since the full-scale war began. The EU and its member states lead the list with $125.4 billion, followed by the United States with $103.9 billion.
Discrepancies in U.S. Aid Reporting
At the same time, estimates by the Economists for Ukraine group suggest that actual U.S. military aid since 2022 totals only $18.3 billion. The discrepancy largely stems from inflated valuations of U.S. stockpiled weapons and inclusion of costs not directly related to Ukraine.
This mismatch is confirmed in the report by the U.S. Congress Special Inspector General. Of the $40.8 billion spent by the Pentagon and $5 billion by the State Department, only $13.6 billion directly benefited Ukraine:
- $11.2B via USAI (Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative) for procurement of weapons,
- $2.2B via FMF (Foreign Military Financing) for direct weapons purchases,
- $200M for demining,
- $30M for military training.
The remaining funds were allocated to restocking U.S. supplies ($7B) and supporting NATO and U.S. military operations in Europe ($22.6B).
Ukrainian Data on Military Deliveries
An alternative perspective comes from Ukraine’s own State Budget. Deliveries of weapons and equipment are reflected in the category "Other revenues of budget institutions" within the special fund. From 2022 to 2024, this category reports at least ₴1.52 trillion, or approximately $40.6 billion received from all partners.
However, the methodology behind this reporting is unclear—for example, how weaponry is valued, or how ammunition and expendable supplies are accounted for.
