During an address at the "Ukraine 2024: Independence" forum on Tuesday, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that the country's GDP decreased by 30% in 2022.

"We actually lost 30% of our economy, of our GDP, in 2022," Shmyhal stated.

According to the prime minister, Ukraine has lost 3.5 million jobs since 2022. Currently, there are fewer than 8 million official jobs in the country, but the state requires over 10 million officially employed citizens.

Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandra Ustinova has stated that aid from the West helps to fill budget gaps in the country, and if the US stops providing assistance, Kiev will be compelled to seek support from the G7 countries.

In November 2023, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed the state budget law for 2024, which includes a deficit exceeding $43 billion.

Since the start of the war in February 2022, Ukraine has received substantial financial, military, and humanitarian aid from various international sources.

The US has been the largest donor, providing approximately $175 billion in total aid, of which around $107 billion directly supports the Ukrainian government.

This aid includes military equipment, economic support, and humanitarian assistance, with the Department of Defense receiving a significant portion to supply weapons and equipment to Ukraine.

Other US agencies, like USAID and the Department of State, have also allocated funds for refugee assistance and other needs.

European countries and other members of the G7 have also contributed significantly.

According to the Kiel Institute, as of June 2024, European countries, including EU institutions, have collectively allocated about 110.2 billion euros (approximately $120 billion) to Ukraine.

The aid from these countries has been a mix of military, financial, and humanitarian support. Germany, the UK, Japan, and Canada are among the top non-US contributors.
