Over the past 3 years of war, donor countries have provided a low but continuous flow of support to Ukraine, with a value of about EUR 80 billion per year. European donors have been the main source of aid to Ukraine since 2022, especially when it comes to financial and humanitarian aid. At the same time, we observe a shift towards weapon procurement. In the initial phase of the war, military aid to Ukraine mostly came from existing arsenals of donor countries, but these have emptied over time. Today, the large majority military aid is newly produced weaponry from Western defense industries—with a small but growing role of multilateral weapon procurement initiatives. These are the findings of the latest update of the Ukraine Support Tracker, which tracks aid up to December 2024.
February 24, 2025, marks the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Looking back, it becomes clear that Western donor countries have provided a continuous flow of aid to Ukraine, almost following a linear trend. In total, approximately EUR 267 billion in aid has been allocated to Ukraine over the past three years, amounting to more than EUR 80 billion per year. Of the total around EUR 130 billion (49 percent) were allocated in military assistance, EUR 118 billion (44 percent) in financial support, and EUR 19 billion (7 percent) in humanitarian aid.
The sum of aid is comparatively low, however, when measured as a share of donor GDP. Germany, the UK, and the US, for example, have mobilized less than 0.2 percent of their GDP per year to support Ukraine, while other rich donor countries like France, Italy, or Spain only allocated about 0.1 percent of their annual GDP. Even small domestic policy priorities are many times more expensive than what is being done for Ukraine. For example, Germany’s tax subsidies for diesel fuel (‘diesel privilege’) cost taxpayers three times more per year than Germany’s military aid for Ukraine. “When looking at the government budgets in most European donor countries, Ukraine aid over the last 3 years looks more like a minor political ‘pet project’ rather than a major fiscal effort,” says Christoph Trebesch, head of the Ukraine Support Tracker at the Kiel Institute.
Europe as a whole has clearly overtaken the US in terms of Ukraine aid. In total, Europe has allocated EUR 70 billion in financial and humanitarian aid as well as EUR 62 billion in military aid. This compares to EUR 64 billion in military aid from the US as well as EUR 50 billion in financial and humanitarian allocations.
