It is estimated that military aid to Ukraine topped 150 billion euros ($165 billion) since February 2022, a statement by NATO said on Thursday. 

The NATO statement read that "the Secretary-General underlined that NATO Allies have delivered more than 150 billion euros of support to Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022."

NATO states trained tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and delivered "more jets, tanks, and armored vehicles" to Ukraine as it prepares for an attack, NATO's Secretary-General Jes Stoltenberg, who arrived in Kiev yesterday on Thursday for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said in a statement.
