From the beginning of the war to June 2025, Europe allocated at least 35.1 billion euros of military assistance through defense purchases – 4.4 billion euros more than the United States.

Europe became the leader in the direction of making weapons for Ukraine. This is proven by studying the Kil Institute of the World Economy Ukrain Support Tracker.

It is noted that from the beginning of an entire war until June 2025, Europe has allocated at least 35.1 billion euros of military assistance by obtaining a defense – 4.4 billion euros more than the United States. At the same time, a significant portion of the weapons provided is no longer derived from stocks, but are purchased directly in the defense industry.

In the first instance since the start of the work of the Donald Trump administration, the states approved a significant amount of weapons exports in Ukraine, but KYIV should supply these purchases to themselves.

Germany provides a military assistance package to 5 billion euros, which is the biggest bilateral assistance, according to the study. Next is Norway, Germany with 1.5 billion euros and Belgium with a contribution of 1.2 billion euros. The Netherlands, the UK and Denmark provided 500-600 million euros each.

According to experts, Europe has purchased more military assistance through industrial contracts than the United States. In the 10.5 billion Euro of European military assistance allocated in May and June 2025, at least 4.6 billion euros were planned to be shipped through purchases to defense companies, and would not take from available reserves. These contracts are primarily completed by European and Ukraine -based companies, which suggests increasing the role of defense of military assistance, researchers’ record.

According to the head of the Ukrain Support Tracker Project Tarot Nisikawa, military assistance in Ukraine is increasingly determined by the capacity of the defense industry. Europe has now purchased many weapons under new defense contracts than the United States, indicating a clear transition from the use of arsenals to industry production.

Ukraine’s financial support today largely depends on the loan mechanism during the season. This initiative, launched by the G7 and the European Commission, provides Ukraine as a whole for 45 billion euros of loans funded by receipts from frozen Russian owners. In May and June, the EU allocated 2 billion euros, Canada introduced 1.5 billion euros, and Japan provided about 2.8 billion euros.

At the same time, Nisikawa noted that the help promised in October 2024 is gradually paid, the available funds are reduced, and if the donors can maintain this support level in the long run, it remains uncertain.

As you know, the Ukrain Support Tracker Project monitors open military, financial and human assistance data in Ukraine. The study covers 40 countries, including EU member states, G7, as well as Australia, South Korea, Turkey, Norway, New Zealand, Switzerland, China, Taiwan and India. EU institutions are included as a separate donor.

Keep in mind that the United States has developed a new method for Ukraine’s weapons: It is suggested to create a special funding for the accumulation of funds by which weapons can be purchased.

Through its “daughter”, the Russian company participated in projects in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Amsterdam court arrested the property of the Dutch company Gazprom Neft Middle East (GNME) – a subsidiary Gazprom oil. It was reported by Rossmi that there was a reference to judicial materials.

The lawsuit was filed by investor Alcazar Capital Partners (The Kaymanov Islands), who tried many years to recover a debt from the Iraqi Kurdistan government. The company believes that GNME owns the owner of the Kurdi government, and it can be used to pay off the debt.

Since 2012, GNME has participated in exploration and production of oil and gas in the Garmian block in Kurdistan, and since 2016 it has been its operator.

Alcazar is the “daughter” of Kuwaitskaya Agility, which in 2007 issued $ 250 million of Korek Telecom’s credit under the Kurdistan government’s guarantee. After non -repayment of the debt, the Kuwait court ordered Kurdi authorities to pay $ 490 million in 2022, but in May 2024, the Erbil court prohibited the request to request this amount.

Alcazar has tried to achieve Kuwait’s decision in other countries, including the Netherlands. GNME representatives have tried to fight the arrest of references to various technical nuances (for example, that the arrest decision was received at the address where the company was no longer office), but the court recognized arguments that were unreasonable and decided to arrest.

Remember that the Naftogaz Group sent a payment demand for the Russian company Gazprom to pay $ 1.37 billion in accordance with the final decision of the international arbitration in Zurich received on June 20, 2025.

Earlier, the Paris court granted permission to enforce the Hague arbitration decision on compensation for losses caused by the illegal expenditure of the Naftogaz group ownership of Crimea for $ 5 billion.
