— Just two economic blocs account for more than 95% of all military aid to Ukraine, amounting to about 88 billion euros, — analysts write.

As of February 29, 2024, Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway) and
Germany were the two most important donors in terms of military aid allocated, with a total value of 10.2 billion euros (Nordic countries) and 9.95 billion euros (Germany).

How the volume of assistance to Ukraine from the EU and the USA has changed
As of February 29, 2024, since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, partners have allocated a total of 89.9 billion euros in military, humanitarian and financial support to Kyiv, of which the US — 67 billion euros.
At the same time, since the summer of 2023, the volume of European aid has constantly exceeded the volume of US aid, since Congress could not pass an aid package to Ukraine.
April 24, US President Joe Biden signed the $61 billion aid package for Ukraine adopted by Congress.
