When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, its expectations of a quick and decisive victory evaporated quickly as Ukrainian Territorial Defence Forces proved more capable and resilient than anticipated.
Within the first few weeks following the invasion, weapons, humanitarian assistance and even volunteer fighters from around the world began pouring into Ukraine to stave off the Russian advance.
The overwhelming majority of aid came from the United States and Europe. As the war nears its two-year mark, the U.S. and other countries have contributed more than a hundred billion dollars in military, financial and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.
