As of February 2025, the United States has committed approximately $114 billion in bilateral aid to Ukraine. This commitment has been made since the onset of Russia’s invasion in February 2022. This figure encompasses military assistance, financial support, and humanitarian aid.
It’s important to note that reported aid amounts have been discrepant. This is due to differing accounting methodologies and the inclusion of various assistance categories. For instance, President Trump claimed that the US provided $350 billion in aid to Ukraine. Yet, official figures do not support this assertion.
The European Union and its member countries have collectively provided approximately €132 billion in aid to Ukraine. This surpasses the US contribution.
The US aid includes funds allocated for replenishing American weapon stockpiles and supporting defense manufacturing across multiple US cities.
In summary, estimates vary slightly based on accounting practices. Still, the US has committed approximately $114 billion in aid. This aid supports Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his representatives have consistently expressed profound gratitude. They are thankful for the United States’ unwavering support.
Many news media estimate that Zelenskyy made as many as 33 public appearances during wartime. He aimed to show his appreciation for the United States financial and equipment support.
While it is challenging to enumerate every instance of appreciation, several notable expressions stand out:
- December 2022 Speech to the US Congress: President Zelenskyy addressed a joint session of the US Congress. This was his first foreign visit since the war began. He thanked “every American” and highlighted Ukraine’s resilience, stating, “Against all odds, Ukraine still stands.” apnews.com
- December 2022 Joint Press Conference with President Biden: Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for a new defense package. He stressed its prompt importance for Ukrainian soldiers during this visit. ua.usembassy.gov
- July 2023 NATO Summit in Vilnius: Zelenskyy expressed his appreciation for US and NATO support before meeting with President Biden. He acknowledged the challenges faced by Ukrainians. Zelenskyy thanked Biden for standing “shoulder to shoulder” with Ukraine. bloomingtonian.com
- February 2025 Post-Meeting Statement: The meeting with President Trump was contentious. Zelenskyy reaffirmed his gratitude toward the American people and Congress. He also expressed gratitude toward the President. Zelenskyy emphasized Ukraine’s pursuit of a just and lasting peace. en.wikipedia.org
- March 2025 London Summit: Zelenskyy expressed “unwavering gratitude” for US military and financial support after a summit with European leaders. He underscored its critical role in Ukraine’s defense. nypost.com
These instances highlight the deep appreciation expressed by Ukrainian leadership. They value the United States’ financial assistance, military aid, and moral support throughout the conflict.
Zelenskyy’s Expressions of Gratitude Midst Diplomatic Tensions
The information stands in contrast to a description made by some. They called it two thugs attacking a robbery victim after he had already been beaten down. It is a sad portrayal. This is a betrayal of the executive office on show in the White House on February 28th, 2025.
The information referenced here documents that 350 billion dollars were not given to the Ukrainian government, contradicting what was claimed. Sadly, the United States Congress knows this. They approved the funding. They should make sure that factual statements involving tax dollars are presented to the public.
