Collectively, EU members, the EU Council and Commission, and the European Investment Bank have been the most generous, committing a total of more than €12bn to Ukraine’s government as of April 23rd
in Russia’s armed forces. Moreover, Mr Putin has spurred Western countries to form a united front and come to Ukraine’s assistance. Total bilateral aid from G7 governments and EU members and its institutions now stands at €27bn , according to data released on May 2nd by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a think-tank.
America has long been Ukraine’s main benefactor in dollar terms. Between 2014, when Russia first invaded eastern Ukraine and annexed Crimea, and 2021, it provided more than $2.5bn in security assistance. This year it has already committed more than $4bn in military aid , more than any country in the EU or G7, and almost as much as the other top five countries—Poland, Germany, Britain and Canada—combined. Their total stands at roughly $4.5bn.
