The United States spent less than in Afghanistan or Iran for a year in Ukraine - analysts (infographics)

German analysts have created Ukraine Support Tracker. This tracker calculated military, financial and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine from January 24, 2022 to January 15, 2023. Statistics cover 40 countries: European Union, G7, Australia, South Korea, Turkey, Norway, New Zealand, Switzerland, China, Taiwan and India. The database combines information from official and state sources with media reports for calculation.

According to German experts, the external support of Ukraine with a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation occurs on a single principle: the United States set the pace, and Europe is catching up. In December, the Americans allocated more than € 73 billion to Ukraine, and at the same time Europeans - almost € 55 billion in the country's humanitarian aid promised as much as throughout the year, but the share of financial and military support has increased.

Delivery of tanks, announced after the meeting of the Ramstein-8 contact group on January 20, experts did not take into account. From November 21 to January 15, the United States made the largest jerk in the promised Ukraine - € 36. 7 billion most of the amount - military support. The leaders also have the following countries: "Americans set a pace in support of Ukraine.

The indecisiveness of Europeans in the first year of the war is a wonderful phenomenon, especially because financial resources can be mobilized quickly. This is evidenced by, for example, a huge amount of money that EU governments have mobilized, for example. To soften the shock from energy prices at home, " - said Tracker's developer Christoph Trebesh.

Germany stated that since January 2022 € 264 billion per subsidies because of the sharp increase in energy prices for consumers and enterprises, experts say. At the same time, the Germans allocated € 6. 15 billion for bilateral support and € 7. 2 billion to support the EU. In the summer, Germany has allocated about € 6 billion to help Ukraine and € 5. 65 billion in transportation. The Special Fund for their own armed forces is ready to spend much more - € 100 billion.

German analysts also compared assistance to Ukraine with previous historical experience. The results showed that the expenditures of Ukrainian allies are lower than in previous conflicts. Experts measured the support of Ukrainians as a percentage of GDP of the respective countries, and it turned out that the US had spent more on Afghanistan or Iran a year. The Germans allocated more money to support the Allies in the Gulf of War.

We will remind, on February 26, German Chancellor Olaf Soltz reacted to the words of President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky about insufficient amounts of assistance. "There is no point in mocking the size of German participation. It is unreasonable that such a great obligation is constantly denied," the German said. On February 23, from the published results of the survey on the KIIS website, it became known that most Ukrainians seek the country to join the European Union by 2030.
