Ukraine managed to attract more than $45 billion in international security assistance in 2025, which is the highest figure since the start of the full-scale war, Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal said.
“Our country managed to attract more than $45 billion in aid, which is the highest figure since the start of the full-scale war and almost 30% more than last year. The key areas of support in 2025 were: weapons and ammunition; development of air defense and missile defense; investments in joint production and procurement for the Ukrainian defense industry; training, repair, technical support, and logistics,” he wrote on Telegram.
According to him, more than $6 billion has been allocated to the development of the Ukrainian defense industry, in particular within the framework of the “Danish model.” Shmyhal noted that Ukraine received almost $3 billion from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets in the EU and the UK. These funds are being used to purchase weapons and develop the defense industry.
“International support for Ukraine is becoming long-term and systematic. This is a guarantee of deterring Russian aggression, strengthening our defense capabilities, and ensuring a just peace in Europe. I sincerely thank each of our partners for this extremely important support,” the head of the defense department emphasized.
