Munich Security Conference 2024

Press Conference on the newest Ukraine Support Tracker release

16 Feb 2024

How has foreign aid to Ukraine evolved in recent months? Could Europe fill the gap, in case US Congress fails to pass another Ukraine support bill? And how does promised aid compare to actually allocated aid to be sent to Ukraine?

This press conference introduces the newest Ukraine Support Tracker release, which contains an important novelty. We now track government “allocations” of aid across donor governments, meaning that we collect the value of specific aid packages that are allocated or earmarked for delivery. Thus far, limited transparency required a focus on "commitments”, or the amount of aid promised. The "allocations" data now provide a much better picture of the aid that is actually arriving in Ukraine.

Europe has a long way to go to replace US aid - large gap between commitments and allocations

16.02.2024

The Team of the Ukraine Support Tracker introduces a new measure to track foreign government aid to Ukraine – government “allocations”. The data show that total European aid has long overtaken U.S. aid - not only in terms of commitments, but also in terms of specific aid allocations sent to Ukraine. In addition, the approval of the EU's Ukraine Support Facility guarantees further financial assistance. However, the gap between EU commitments and allocations remains very large (€144 billion committed vs. €77 billion allocated). To fully replace U.S. military assistance in 2024, Europe would have to double its current level and pace of arms assistance. These are results from the latest Ukraine Support Tracker update, which now covers aid through January 15, 2024.
