The US promised $679.9 million in foreign assistance to Ukraine in fiscal year 2020, the most in a single year since 1994.
Total US foreign aid to Ukraine in FY 2020 was more than double the amount pledged in FY 2015. Military aid was the biggest increase — up by $200.7 million — while economic aid increased by $182.9 million, according to United States Agency for International Development and State Department data. Ukraine was the 17th-largest recipient of foreign aid in 2020. Afghanistan was the largest recipient at $3.9 billion that year, followed by Israel at $3.3 billion.
The US Overseas Loans and Grants data, also known as the Greenbook, breaks down historical data on economic and military spending in Ukraine. Military aid primarily benefits government armed forces and does not include the cost of US combat operations. Economic aid is for the broad development of the country’s economy and can include non-military security support.
