On the one-year mark of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Biden administration has announced an additional $2 billion in new military aid, bringing the total to $32 billion in taxpayer funds provided to Kyiv in the past 12 months, or roughly five times Ukraine’s annual military budget.

The $2 billion package, which is being provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), includes more rounds of ammunition, various small, high-tech drones, and equipment to counter Russia’s electronic warfare capability.
