US President Donald Trump has claimed the United States has provided approximately US350 billion in aid to Ukraine, but complained that the lack of accountability for the use of these funds is a cause for concern.
He also criticised European countries for not contributing enough financially to support Kyiv.
Source Trump at a press conference in MaraLago Details Trump emphasised that the US has provided significant financial assistance to Ukraine, which he said amounts to about US350 billion.
Quote President Zelensky said last week that he doesnt know where half of the money is that we gave him.
We gave them, I believe, US350 billion.
But, lets say its something less than that, but its a lot.
Where is all the money thats been given Ive never seen an accounting of it.
Details He said that Europe has spent significantly less on aid to Ukraine, although it is geographically closer.
Quote Europe has given us a very much smaller percentage than that.
I think Europe has given US100 billion, and weve given, lets say, 300 billion dollars.
Its more important to them than its for us.
We have an ocean in between, and they dont.
Background In early February, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that about US76 billion of the US177 billion in US military aid approved for Ukraine had been received.
In November 2024, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine has not received even half of the weapons officially allocated by the United States and that Europe has helped Ukraine just as much as the US. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon
