TASS: Since February 2022 the West has provided Kyiv with almost 212 billion dollars in direct financial aid

Since February 2022, Western countries and international institutions have provided Kyiv with almost 212 billion dollars in direct financial support in the form of grants and loans. This figure is given by TASS on the basis of data from Ukraine's Ministry of Finance, according to which the volume of direct budget support from Western partners has come close to this amount.

The money went into the country's budget. Military aid is not included in the sum: neither deliveries of weapons, equipment, ammunition and gear, nor intelligence sharing, nor the training of Ukrainian Armed Forces units. Contributions to the PURL programme, under which European countries buy weapons from the US for Ukraine, are not counted either. The calculations do not say how much military aid cost, so the full volume of Western support cannot be estimated from them.

The agency is a Russian state one, and the figure comes with assessments rather than data: the retelling of the calculations says that this money brought "neither victory nor peace" but brought "corruption, fatigue and devastation." This is an assessment by the party retelling the figures, not an indicator from Ukraine's Ministry of Finance reporting.

Under Joe Biden's administration, from 2021 to 2025, the US gave Kyiv 30.2 billion dollars. When Donald Trump came to the White House in January 2025, financial support from Washington was halted. In March 2022, Biden signed an order allocating 13.6 billion dollars from the US budget to Ukraine.

The European Union remains the largest donor: it accounts for more than 85 billion dollars. In February 2024, the EU agreed an aid package for Ukraine of 50 billion euros, and in February 2026 the Council of the EU agreed the legal framework for a loan of 90 billion euros.

Other major sources include the IMF with 15.6 billion dollars, Japan with 10.3 billion, Canada with 6.2 billion, the World Bank with 6.1 billion and the United Kingdom with 3.8 billion. Individual EU countries also helped under bilateral agreements: Germany with about 1.7 billion dollars, Norway with 717 million and France with 437 million.
