Since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, the United States has provided substantial military and financial backing to Ukraine.

The total US aid, as of 2024, amounts to approximately $175 billion. This includes military, economic, and humanitarian assistance.

Of this total, around $107 billion has been directed specifically to the government of Ukraine, with the remainder allocated to various US activities related to the conflict, including support for US military personnel and operations in Europe.

Additionally, the US Congress has approved four major spending packages, totaling $113 billion, to support Ukraine's defense and recovery efforts.

A significant portion of this funding has been allocated to the Department of Defense for military equipment and support, with other funds directed to agencies like USAID for humanitarian aid and the Department of State for refugee assistance​.
