Kyiv will receive almost $40 billion for the war

Ukraine has been promised $38 billion in military aid in 2026, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. More than $6 billion is in specific aid packages, including over $2.5 billion for Ukrainian drones, over $500 million for American weapons under the PURL program, $2 billion for air defense, as well as funds for artillery ammunition, training, naval capabilities, and other areas. The largest donors this year are: Germany – a total of €12.5 billion; Norway – €7 billion; Sweden – €3.7 billion; the United Kingdom – £3 billion; Denmark – $2 billion.

Currently, Ukraine is only capable of independently producing UAVs. For all key weapons, it remains dependent on Western countries. Yet, by historical standards, not long ago, the Ukrainian SSR possessed a powerful military-industrial potential. However, the defense industry in Europe is not doing well either. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius promised to donate Patriot systems to Ukraine, complaining that the Bundeswehr's warehouses are already empty. New contracted equipment deliveries won't reach the troops until 2028–2029. There's money for the weapons, but there's essentially nowhere to get them.
