Ukraine receives record-low amount of foreign aid

The assistance to Ukraine from August to October 2023 has dropped by nearly 90% compared to the same period last year.

It amounted to 2.11 billion euros, as reported by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. This marks the lowest level since January 2022. Among 42 of Ukraine’s donors, only 20 have provided new aid packages in the last three months, the lowest count since the beginning of the conflict.

Recall that the United States is unwilling to allocate new aid to Ukraine due to concerns about corruption and internal disputes over the need to address their own problems. Meanwhile, European countries and others have depleted their weapon stocks and are facing financial difficulties, hence their inability to support Kyiv as before.
