Throughout 2024, Ukraine received only half of the promised aid from the United States, Reuters reports.
"According to two congressional aides, by November, just about half of the total dollar amount the US had promised in 2024 from American stockpiles had been delivered," Reuters wrote.
Sources also revealed that as of early December 2024, Ukraine received only 30% of the promised armored vehicles.
US assistance to Ukraine
The United States has been Ukraine's largest provider of military aid since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion. Washington supplied Ukraine with advanced weapons, including HIMARS, Patriot air defense systems, Bradley fighting vehicles, Abrams tanks, and long-range ATACMS missiles.
In addition to military assistance, the US provided financial and humanitarian support, including budgetary assistance to stabilize Ukraine's economy, and actively imposed sanctions against Russia.
In 2024, US assistance to Ukraine faced significant delays due to internal political disputes in Congress. Disagreements between Democrats and Republicans over the scope and conditions of support led to serious delays in approving aid packages.
In early January 2025, former Deputy Press Secretary of the US Secretary of Defense Sabrina Sing stated that the administration of the 46th US President Joe Biden would not be able to implement the entire amount of aid for Ukraine approved by Congress in the spring of 2024.
