Information Clearing House-- The Joe Biden administration pledged Ukraine
$39.87 billion in military aid in the six months
between February and August 2022, for an average
of $228 million per day, fueling what even
former US government
officials
admit is a “brutal
proxy war” that is causing tens of thousands
of deaths.
Researcher
Stephen Semler documented the 21 distinct
military aid packages that the Joe Biden
administration approved for Ukraine in the year
between August 2021 and August 2022, at a total
of $40.13 billion.
Two of those 21 pledges were approved before
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
Excluding these two
presidential drawdowns from August and
December 2021, which are worth $260 million
combined, the Biden administration passed $39.87
billion for military aid in Ukraine between
February 25, 2022 (the day after the Russian
invasion) and August 19, 2022.
This $39.87 billion in pledged military aid
divided by the 175 days between February 25,
2022 and August 19, 2022 comes out to an average
of approximately $228 million per day.
This spending does not include the billions
more that the US government has pledged in
economic aid to Ukraine. It likewise excludes
the tens of billions of dollars of military aid
that European countries have approved for
Ukraine.
