So far, the American budget does not provide for new supply weapons to protect Ukraine.
In Tag -Tag -Day, Joe Biden’s military help ends, and to this day the American budget does not provide new supplies of weapons to Ukraine, citizen’s deputy Irina Gerashchenko said. Meanwhile, another native selected by a Yaroslav zheleznyak now says that more than 400 billion hryvnias is not enough to supply the army to the budget.
The possible stop of Ukraine’s support from the United States would be a heavy blow to Kyiv, but it was complete – we understood the plot.
What types of assistance provides states in Ukraine
Since Russia’s entire -scale raid on Ukraine in February 2022, the United States provided Kyiv 66.5 billion dollars of military aid, as well as more than 50 billion dollars financial aid, according to the American Center for Strategic and International Research (CSIS).
Although this money is intended for Ukraine, 90% of this military assistance is made up of funds spent in the United States to create new weapons or replacement of weapons provided for armed forces from American reserves.
In addition to military equipment and training, the United States provides Ukraine with widespread intelligence support and performing briefings.
Ukraine’s support of the United States has also exceeded battle and intelligence instruments, which cover military planning and long -term potential buildings. The United States also drives transportation and logistics to provide assistance to Kyiv.
How old can there be
According to the CSIS, if the Trump administration has decided to stop helping in Ukraine, much depends on what exactly means “stopping” in training. It can vary from a sudden ban on any aid, including the support of allies, with a more limited termination of the US future gears.
Although the future of the US help in Ukraine is vaguely, the end of financing does not necessarily lead to the immediate cessation of current supplies of weapons. A significant component of assistance, approved by Congress, is still in the delivery stage and will continue to enter Ukraine for the next few years if the Trump administration does not decide to cancel forced support.
This means that weapons under contracts signed over the past three years will continue to enter Ukraine for many years, though training in American systems can be stopped.
In the case of termination of supplies, an important issue is whether Europe will be allowed to transfer to Ukraine military equipment and Reconnaissance data received from the United States. As for military equipment, this will occur by moving to third parties.
The United States requires any recipient of defense goods or services to receive a written state’s written consent, before using or discarding them through procedures not provided for initial obtaining agreement.
The worst script
In addition to transferring American -Made own equipment of European countries in the event of supplies, the United States may allow Europe to buy additional American weapons and move it directly to Ukraine.
In February, President Trump said he was open to the proposal. For example, Europe could buy Amraam and Patriot missiles in the United States, and then export them to Ukraine. This will be a great benefit to American companies and guarantee access to KYIV in basic weapons systems.
Washington can also encourage or allow Starlink to stop providing services in Ukraine. The armed forces of Ukraine depend on Starlink for command and management, and the development of an alternative will be difficult and complex. In the short term, Starlink’s loss can significantly interfere with Ukrainian military operations, reducing their well -being (primary advantage in Russia) and the ability to quickly respond to any potential breakthrough in Russia.
The United States can also stop the maintenance and repair of existing American weapons that Ukraine has received or acquired in the United States. The fight is associated with ongoing damage and wear of equipment, and Ukraine has thousands of military equipment units that require repair. The United States can also prevent European allies from buying spare parts for Ukraine.
The worst scenario for Ukraine is that the United States will prohibit the use of any assistance – military and intelligence – and stop the sale of weapons, even on the third.
“Currently, the complete termination of US support in Ukraine seems unlikely to be unlikely to be a scenario. On April 30, 2025, President Trump approved the direct commercial sales in Ukraine for 50 million dollars. The end remains full termination possible,” CSIS experts summarize.
