The United States has already devoted about 96 percent of the funds allocated for Ukraine across all categories since the start of Russia’s operations. This assessment comes from White House Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby, as reported by RIA News.

Regarding the total envelope of funds approved for Ukraine, which includes not only military aid but also economic, financial, and humanitarian support, the figure reaches roughly 96 percent spent. This overview reflects the broad range of assistance that has been deployed since hostilities began.

When it comes to military support specifically, more than nine-tenths of the designated funds have been committed, illustrating a sustained emphasis on security assistance alongside broader humanitarian and economic measures.

On November 8, Erin McKee, deputy director of the Agency for International Development for European and Eurasian Affairs, stated that there are no remaining funds to continue direct budget support to Ukraine. He noted that humanitarian aid could be provided without new appropriations, signaling a potential shift in how relief is financed going forward.

In recent congressional action, Democratic Party members in the US Senate blocked a rapid passage of emergency aid legislation for Israel that had cleared the House but did not include new Ukraine assistance.

Previously, leaders from several U.S. departments, including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, signaled that the White House would ask Congress to authorize about 11.8 billion dollars in support for Kiev.

Earlier statements from Republican senators framed support for Ukraine as a condition, underscoring the continuing political debate over how future aid should be structured and funded. Cited source material outlined a broader context of budgeting and policy priorities shaping the U.S. approach to Ukraine aid across multiple administrations.
