Story summary

Since President Trump took office in January 2025, US aid to Ukraine has dropped dramatically to about $540 million, following former President Biden's substantial support of $130 billion after Russia invaded in 2022. The US remains the largest single donor by far, contributing more than double the $60 billion provided by Germany, Ukraine’s second-largest supporter. Before Trump’s presidency, Ukraine had become the top recipient of US foreign aid for the first time since post-World War II reconstruction. Since 2022, $70 billion in weapons and military equipment and another $53 billion to support Ukraine's budget have been sent from the US, with an additional $4 billion allocated for humanitarian assistance. A significant portion of this aid has been spent within the US on factories and workers producing weapons bound for Ukraine or replenishing US stocks. Continental European countries, excluding the UK, have collectively provided over $153 billion in aid to Ukraine since the war began.
