In the first months of 2024, European countries allocated about 6 billion euros in aid to Kyiv, almost all for the military.
In recent months, Europe has almost overtaken the United States in terms of the amount of military support for Ukraine. In particular, Brussels allocated about 42 billion euros, and Washington – 43.1 billion. This is confirmed by data from a new Ukraine Support Tracker study on aid to Ukraine, which is regularly conducted by the Kiel Institute of World Economics.

“Overall, in January and February 2024, European countries allocated about 6 billion euros in aid to Ukraine, almost all for the military,” the study said.
Germany announced its largest military aid package in almost a year – 2.4 billion euros. This includes air defense systems, 155 mm artillery, and ammunition.
Sweden also pledged its biggest military package ever, €0.7 billion. It contains various naval and land military equipment.
As of February 29, donors and the EU have allocated €89.9 billion in military, humanitarian and financial support to Ukraine. Of these, the USA – 67 billion euros.
Since the summer of 2023, European spending has continued to exceed that of the United States because Congress has not approved any new aid to Ukraine for more than a year.
