How much financial aid has Ukraine received from the United States (infographic)
From 2022 to 2024, Ukraine received $120.24 billion of assistance from the United States, according to an infographic by Texty.org.ua, based on data from the Kiel Institute.
In total, the United States has allocated $50.24 billion in budget support to Ukraine.
In 2022-24, Ukraine received $31.240 billion in budgetary assistance to the state budget. The US already provided another $19 billion in loans to the World Bank in 2024, but Ukraine will receive them this year.
As Dmytro Shulga, director of the Europe and the World program at the International Renaissance Foundation, explains, in 2024, the G7 agreed to a $20 billion loan from the United States to repay the profits of frozen Russian assets. The US has already allocated this $20 billion to the World Bank. Still, of this $20 billion, Ukraine received only the first $1 billion in December 2024. The remaining $19 billion is due in 2025. However, we need to remember that the US has already allocated 31.24 + 19 = 50.24 billion.

About 3.5 billion was humanitarian aid, i.e. aid to Ukrainians.
The rest of the aid is another 66.5 billion. According to the Pentagon, this is military aid, i.e. weapons, not money.
"The funds are received by American contractors of the Pentagon to manufacture new weapons, either to be provided to Ukraine or to be provided to the American army to replenish stocks in place of old weapons transferred to Ukraine from warehouses," explains Mr. Shulga. This can hardly be considered 'money given to Ukraine' in the sense that Trump is putting it."
For comparison, US arms exports to the global market doubled from $138 billion in 2021 to $318 billion in 2024.
"Ukraine has made a huge advertisement for American weapons (for example, eight European countries have purchased "Himars" after they proved themselves in Ukraine), and the need to replace and strengthen European arsenals (for example, purchases of F-35s to replace the F-16s or Mig-29s given to Ukraine).
Without "advertising costs" (54 billion for Ukrainians who withstood 3 years of war against a much larger and more heavily armed army with the help of American weapons), the net profit of the United States amounted to almost 300 billion dollars. Okay, cross out another $66.5 billion as the cost of the weapons donated to Ukrainians. Still a net profit of about $230 billion," Mr. Shulga concludes.
