This is a list of known
military aid, that has been and will be provided to
Ukraine during the
Russo-Ukrainian War, particularly during the
Russian invasion of Ukraine. This list includes delivered equipment, training, intelligence, treatment of soldiers, logistical support as well as financial support to the Ukrainian government unless earmarked for humanitarian purposes. Weapons donated as a result of cooperation between multiple countries are listed separately in each country category.
In total aid (military, financial and humanitarian combined), the European Union and its countries have provided the most to Ukraine, according to
Kiel Institute, whereas the United States has by far
provided the most in military aid.[1][2] Since January 2022, mostly Western nations have pledged more than $380 billion in aid to Ukraine, including nearly $118 billion in direct military aid to Ukraine from individual countries.[3]
Some
NATO countries and allies, such as
Germany and
Sweden, have reversed past policies against providing offensive military aid in order to support
Ukraine, while the
European Union for the first time in its history supplied lethal arms through its institutions.[4][5][6]
The Russian government has condemned the supply of military aid to Ukraine. Russia's president
Vladimir Putin said that if military aid stopped, Ukraine would not survive for long.[7] The
Center for Strategic and International Studies assessed in December 2023 that if the United States stopped sending military aid, European countries could not quickly fill the gap. If this happened, it forecast that Ukraine's defensive capabilities would gradually weaken and Ukraine's frontline would collapse.[8]
Donors
The donation of military aid was coordinated at monthly meetings in the
Ukraine Defense Contact Group, throughout the war. A
first meeting took place between 41 countries on 26 April 2022, and the coalition comprised 54 countries (all 30
member states of NATO and 24 other countries) at the latest meeting on 14 February 2023.[9] All
EU member states donated military aid both individually as sovereign countries and collectively via EU institutions, except of three countries (
Hungary,
Cyprus and
Malta) that opted not to donate military aid individually as sovereign countries.
As of February 2023, military aid was donated by
EU institutions,
45 sovereign countries,
companies, and
other parties.

Russia has sent a diplomatic letter to the United States warning it not to supply Ukraine with any more weapons and that the United States and NATO aid of the "most sensitive" weapons to Ukraine were "adding fuel" and could bring "unpredictable consequences."[746]
Olga Skabeyeva said on state-owned
Rossiya 1 TV: "It can safely be called World War Three. That's entirely for sure. [...] We're definitely fighting against NATO infrastructure, if not NATO itself. We need to recognise that."[747] She has further claimed that NATO is supplying Ukraine with "zillions of weapons".[748]
Russia banned members of the
UK cabinet including then prime minister
Boris Johnson and former PM
Theresa May from visiting the country: "In essence, the British leadership is deliberately aggravating the situation around Ukraine, pumping the Kyiv regime with lethal weapons and coordinating similar efforts on the part of NATO."[749]
In June 2022, Russian President
Vladimir Putin threatened to "strike at those targets that we have not yet been hitting" in Ukraine if the West provides Ukraine with advanced multiple-rocket launch systems such as the
M270 and the
M142 HIMARS.[750]
Russian aircraft have flown over the Baltic and Black Seas without flight plans or transponders or communicating with civilians or military air traffic controllers, and in some cases they have closely approached or slightly violated the airspace of other nations. NATO aircraft from Poland, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain, Romania, Finland and the United Kingdom, along with aircraft from non-NATO Sweden, have intercepted these Russian planes.[751][752][753][754]
In December 2022, Putin's spokesman
Dmitry Peskov claimed that due to Western military support to Ukraine, "the suffering of the Ukrainian people will continue longer than it could have".[755]
During a meeting of the UN Security Council on 24 November 2022, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN
Vasily Nebenzya explained the purpose of
Russian strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure, saying: "We're carrying out attacks on infrastructure facilities in Ukraine in response to the country being loaded with Western weapons and unwise calls for Kyiv to wield a military victory over Russia."[756] On 1 December 2022, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov defended Russian strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure, stating as one of the reasons that the Russian missile strikes were intended to "knock out energy facilities that allow you to keep pumping deadly weapons into Ukraine in order to kill the Russians".[757]
In March 2023, in a televised address, Russian President Putin accused Western countries of trying to prolong the war by supplying Ukraine with weapons.[758] On 20 June 2023, Russian Defense Minister
Sergei Shoigu warned Ukraine of "immediate strikes on decision-making centers in Ukraine" if Ukraine attacks Crimea with HIMARS and
Storm Shadow missiles.[759] In July 2023, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman
Maria Zakharova claimed that
Joe Biden's decision to supply Ukraine with
cluster munitions "is aimed at prolonging the conflict in Ukraine as much as possible."[760]
Other responses
South Korea has initially declined to send any lethal aid such as the
KM-SAM missile system citing its security situation.[761] In April 2023, a spokesman for South Korea's Ministry of Defense stated that "the government's policy of not providing lethal weapons to Ukraine remains unchanged."[762]
Taiwan has kept mainly to humanitarian and financial aid.[763]
Israel refused to send lethal weapons to Ukraine. In June 2023, Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said that "We're concerned also with the possibility that systems that we would give to Ukraine would fall into Iranian hands and could be reverse engineered, and we would find ourselves facing Israeli systems used against Israel."[764]
China's foreign minister
Qin Gang claimed that China is not selling weapons to either side in the war in Ukraine.[768] China accused Western countries of prolonging the war by supplying arms to Ukraine to boost the profits of its
arms industry.[769][770] Western politicians, on the contrary, consider the supply of weapons to Ukraine as help in the defense of the attacked country.[771]
Pakistan denied reports that the country supplies weapons to Ukraine.[772] In April 2023, Foreign Office spokesperson
Mumtaz Zahra Baloch stated that "Pakistan maintains a policy of strict neutrality in the dispute between Ukraine and Russia and in that context, do not provide any ammunition to them."[773]
Turkey refused the U.S.'s suggestion to give Ukraine its advanced
S-400 air defense system.[774] Turkey has denied reports that it delivered
cluster munitions to Ukraine in 2022.[775]
Military aid planning
In late March 2022, Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested "1 percent" of NATO's planes and tanks.[776] Ukraine's requirements moved from defensive weapons which are hand-held such as NLAW, Stinger, Starstreak, Javelin and drones to heavier weapons such as artillery, tanks, and aircraft. Ukraine had been relying on Eastern European NATO members' old stockpiles of Soviet equipment, but the number of manufacturers of Soviet equipment in Eastern Europe is limited.[777]
The coalition planned to continue meeting as a monthly "contact group" to address long-term support for Ukraine. In addition to European Union NATO countries, Ukraine, and the U.S., the coalition includes: Sweden, Finland, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Morocco, Kenya, Liberia, Tunisia, Jordan, and Israel.[779] Their purpose is to work out ongoing aid to Ukraine, with an emphasis on providing "lethal aid" to help with the ongoing war. Austin said, "I'd like this whole group to leave today with a common, transparent understanding of Ukraine's near-term security requirements—because we're going to keep on moving heaven and earth to meet them."[780] According to Pentagon Press Secretary
John F. Kirby: "A new phase, …I think [Austin] also wants to take a longer, larger view of the defense relationships that Ukraine will need to have going forward, when the war is over."[778] Kirby also said, "I don't think anybody can predict how long this is going to go on… The truth is… if
Mr. Putin pulled his forces out and stopped this illegal invasion, and sat down in good faith with Mr. Zelensky, [the conflict] could be over now."[778]
On 28 April 2022, US President
Joe Biden asked
Congress for an additional $33 billion to assist Ukraine, including $20 billion to provide weapons to Ukraine.[785] On 21 May 2022, the
United States passed legislation providing $40 billion in new military and humanitarian foreign aid to Ukraine, marking a historically large commitment of funds.[786][787]
When the Ukraine Defense Contact Group held its latest ninth meeting on 14 February 2023, its list of members had grown from the initial 41 countries, to a new total of 54 countries.[9]
In 2022, Congress approved more than $112 billion in aid to Ukraine. In October 2023, the
Biden administration requested $61.4 billion more for Ukraine for the year ahead.[788] On 20 April 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a $95 billion aid package to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.[789]
On 30 May 2024, US President Joe Biden gave Ukraine permission to
strike targets inside Russia using American-supplied weapons.[790] The same permission was given to Ukraine by Germany,[791] France and the United Kingdom.[792] Dutch Foreign Minister
Hanke Bruins Slot said that the Netherlands would not object if Ukraine used Dutch-supplied
F-16 fighters to strike targets inside Russia.[793]
