- The United States and its Western allies have contributed a total of $260,000 million to Ukraine, mostly in armaments and military support, following the Russian invasion of 2022. Although this aid seeks to strengthen Ukraine ' s defence, the United Nations World Research Institute has said that poverty eradication would require between $70,000 million and $325,000 million a year, which is lower than that granted to Ukraine.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blink said the United States has contributed EUR 102 billion and another EUR 158 billion of partners and allies. Experts and international organizations are concerned that aid to Ukraine is so large and, at the same time, believe that other important issues such as reducing global poverty are being neglected.
According to the New York Times, the Pentagon has already announced that it will send $725 million worth of weaponry to the Civil Guard. In the meantime, several experts have warned of the dangers of following the US arms supply to North Korea. For its part, the administration of US President Joe Biden continues to supply military weapons.
Donald Trump has been against giving military aid to Ukraine, considering that this is a "worsening" of the armed conflict. Trump has proposed that aid should be used as a negotiating instrument for an agreement against Russia and that it should ensure the end of the war.
Experts have warned that the weaponry sent to Ukraine may cause risks. As the conflict continues, speculation has arisen with the possibility of a wider war in Europe or of Russia occupying more territory. This raises questions about the consequences of military aid and the importance of the effort to achieve lasting peace. International leaders have agreed on the need to rethink resource priorities in order to prioritize peace and justice.
