The Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW Kiel) has published a new study on the scale of support provided to Ukraine in 2025. Since the United States has virtually halted its aid to Kyiv – with assistance from there falling by 99 percent – Europe has essentially become the sole financier of global aid to the country.
The Europeans have provided around €29 billion in military support, significantly more than in previous years (between 2022 and 2024 European military aid averaged around €17–18 billion annually, representing an increase of approximately 67 percent). Financial and humanitarian support has also risen sharply – by 59 percent compared with the average of the years 2022–2024.
Through EU institutions alone, some €35.1 billion flowed into the country in 2025. This accounted for 89 percent of the total European financial and humanitarian assistance (€39 billion).
Germany made the largest contribution, providing around €9 billion in military aid – a 130 percent increase compared with the 2022–2024 period.
