After the Freeze… A Review of U.S. Aid to Ukraine Since 2022

---

The United States has imposed a freeze on aid to Kyiv, a move that comes as no surprise after a public altercation, reopening the discussion on what has been provided since the start of the war.

On Monday evening, a White House official announced that President Donald Trump had ordered the suspension of U.S. military aid to Ukraine following a tense exchange with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, last Friday in the Oval Office.

“We are freezing and reviewing our aid to ensure it contributes to a solution that will end the war between Moscow and Kyiv,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

He added, “The president has made it clear that he is focused on peace… Our partners must also commit to achieving this goal.”

The freeze applies to military aid that was approved under former President Joe Biden’s administration, a large portion of which has already been delivered to Kyiv. However, the remaining part, including equipment and weapons, has yet to be sent.

The official noted that Trump made this decision during a meeting at the White House on Monday afternoon, attended by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and several senior presidential advisors.

$65.9 Billion in Aid

The United States was originally set to deliver significantly more equipment in 2025, with monthly shipments valued between $500 million and $920 million, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Experts had anticipated that this support would enhance Ukraine’s firepower across all domains and compensate for current losses. However, Trump’s decision to suspend the aid changes the equation.

According to the U.S. State Department, Washington has so far provided $65.9 billion in military aid since Russia launched its attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and $69.2 billion in military assistance since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.

As part of this effort, the White House has used the president’s authority to draw from U.S. weapons stockpiles 55 times since August 2021, supplying approximately $27.688 billion in military aid from the Department of Defense’s reserves.
