Almost $4.8 billion in military aid was pledged up until the given date, according to the Ukraine Support Tracker by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. This number could soon rise even more as the White House is reportedly preparing another substantial military aid package. Together with a similar package announced in mid-April, the new funding round would up U.S. military aid to Ukraine by another $1.6 billion.
Second-ranked Estonia has pledged far less – $240 million – in the given time frame, but the military aid committed to by the country amounts up to 0.8 percent of the small nation’s GDP. This is far more in relative terms than any of the pledges of the other top donors to Ukraine, even when combining military, financial and humanitarian aid commitments. The U.S.’ combined pledge of around $8.3 billion in humanitarian and military aid only amounts up to approximately 0.04 percent of its GDP.
The next biggest donors of military aid to Ukraine are the UK, Italy, Sweden and Germany.
One of Ukraine’s larger neighbors, Poland, appears further down the list, having pledged very little military aid to the country, instead concentrating on financial aid commitments of around $900 million, making it the second-largest overall donor to Ukraine after the U.S.
The IfW Kiel’s Ukraine Support Tracker systematically records the value of support that the governments of 31 Western countries have pledged to Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022. Military, financial and humanitarian aid that is publicly known is recorded in the database.

Military aid comes from money printed out of thin air backed with nothing other than promises of “Full faith and Credit” which is in reality a promise to print new money to pay back the old debts.
Fiat money is the genesis of endless war. The Brits figured this out during their 17th century wars against the Dutch and used it to grind down the mercantile banking French during their 18th century wars to gain control over the world’s reserve currency.
The British have a multi-century history of fighting those countries who possess the world reserve currency – Portugal, Spain, The Dutch, and France. The USA now has the world reserve currency – is history repeating its self?
Our true enemy is The City of London and their proxies in DC and NYC. Like Patton said, we defeated the wrong enemy.
Be careful, Ice. Like you, Patton spoke the truth, and look what happened to him. “Traffic accident?” Does anyone believe that?
I’m too far gone to worry anymore.
I saved that great 2 part essay you wrote back in August, ’20. My note, “good thesis, surplus money always makes for empire.” How correct you were.
Billions in arms provided, US troops in Ukraine training and fighting in the battles covertly, using US planes and satellites to target Russian troops and equipment,…if Russia or China was doing these things in a bordering country, say Mexico, would we not consider them acts of war?
I voted you up, but to answer your question, No, this administration would not.
When money has no value giving it away has no more consequence than burning it. The Fed will just conjure up another billion.
I find it not coincidental that the two places The American Empire considers hotspots are the same places The Big Guy was getting 10% from.
Sure, why not?
Of course, that will only $6.3 billion after the Big Guy takes his cut.
Now that Joo bastard wants $7 billion a MONTH?? Wow … he’s the most aggressive Free Shit Niggah on the planet. Ukraine … the land of endless-and-forever needs.
Well Dementia did pledge yet another $800 million in Free Shit weapons yesterday, AND $500 million in economic aid!
So, the UkieNazi begging is working at least to some degree. I’m sure there are some mechanisms in place whereby Zel Da Joofuk can’t just pocket, oh let’s say $100 million into his own bank account. Right?
I’m shocked I tell you!, It’s almost like someone is suggesting that this another US sponsored proxy war. I mean, “Come On Man!”.
USA! USA! USA!
We should give arms to Russia to take out Zelensky.
(Dual) State Dept needs time to force in their post-Putin Russia.
Zelly is the next Saddam Hussein + Manuel Noriega (+ Władziu Liberace). B.F.F. until no longer a useful entertainer.
Our government, the Chinese and the Russians have been fighting proxy wars my entire 70 decades.
You are almost older than Methusaleh. 70 decades!
Some days I feel like Methuselah was a young man compared to me.
There is quite a bit of discussion/speculation about how the weapons will be sold on the black market in Western Ukraine and the money will be distributed to the politically connected. The big guy gets his 10 percent.
The deal is cooked and the American people still get the worms.
And it goes right into Biden and his crony’s pockets.
The more meaningful question — where the money and weapons are going to end up along the way in this enormous fustercluck … just who’s going to have such an incredible cache of weapons (and, therefore, power and money) …
