Western Countries Send Almost $50Bln In Military Aid To Ukraine

Western countries and their allies have provided about $50 billion in military assistance to Ukraine since the start of Russia's military operation last year, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on Tuesday.

"Together we have committed nearly $50 billion in lethal assistance to Ukraine since the start of Russia's all-out invasion last February 24," Austin said at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting in Brussels.

Western countries ramped up their military support for Ukraine after Russia launched a special military operation there on February 24, 2022.
