The largest contribution is from Ukraine: Zelensky revealed the cost of the war for 2024 (video)

According to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, almost half of the money spent for the war last year is the own funds of Ukraine. The cost of war in Ukraine for 2024 amounted to about $ 100 billion. Of these, 40 billion - the contribution of Ukraine, 35 billion were provided by the United States and 25 billion - assistance from European countries.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this during a press conference following the meeting with the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Kiir Startner on January 16. Answering questions about safety guarantees for Ukraine, which can be provided by Western partners, Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that the Union between the United States and Europe provides great support in confrontation with the occupiers. "But we cannot forget what contribution Ukraine makes," the President said.

According to him, in 2024, about $ 100 billion was spent on the defense forces of Ukraine. "Of these, 40 billion are Ukraine's contribution, 35 - the United States, 25 - Europe. That's about the contribution of each of us. Therefore, we see the strength in this union," Zelensky said. The President added that Ukraine's highest contribution to the fight against the Russian Federation is people. "But you see, of course, a percentage of money," he said.

Zelensky noted that money was spent not only directly on defense forces, but also on social initiatives and the restoration of infrastructure after Russian attacks. We will remind, on January 16 Ukraine and the United Kingdom signed an agreement on partnership of the GA Hundred years. It covers almost all sectors of international relations, from trade and defense to culture and science.
