As of July 2023, the U.S. has sent nearly $77 billion in aid to Ukraine for humanitarian and military assistance, as well as weapons and military equipment from the Department of Defense’s stocks. Recently, the Pentagon warned Congress that it is running low on money to replace weapons sent to Ukraine and has urged for more funding.
