US military aid to Ukraine plummets under Trump after Biden's $130 billion surge
Aid to Ukraine fell to roughly $540 million since January 2025 under President Trump, a sharp drop after the $130 billion provided during the Biden era.
After Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, the United States emerged as Ukraine's top benefactor, supplying $70 billion in weapons, $53 billion for budget support and $4 billion for humanitarian aid under President Biden's administration. Since President Trump took office, the flow of U.S. assistance has contracted dramatically, falling to about $540 million from January 2025 onward. Europe, led by Germany and the United Kingdom, continues to provide substantial aid, though the European Union's planned $80 billion package is unsettled after Slovakia and Hungary withdrew.
The United States still offers critical intelligence and the Starshield satellite internet network, yet President Volodymyr Zelensky has recently warned of throttled access and delayed missile-alert data. Overall, the U.S. remains the single largest donor, but the sharp reduction marks a notable shift in the transatlantic support landscape.
Why it matters
The steep decline in U.S. aid reshapes Ukraine's war resources and signals changing Western support dynamics.
