Boosted by new EU financing, military aid for Ukraine in June hit its highest level since the United States pulled funding, though long-term support is lagging, Kiel Institute data showed Thursday. Kyiv was allocated 7.2 billion euros ($8.3 billion) in military aid in June, the highest amount since the 9.04 billion euros received in April 2024. US funding dried up in February 2025.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. It is the third-biggest monthly military funding boost from donors since Russia’s invasion in February 2022, according to the think tank’s Ukraine Support Tracker. The surge was largely driven by the European Union’s new Ukraine Support Loan, which helped European institutions allocate 4.3 billion euros of military aid in May and June. The 90-billion-euro EU loan was introduced to support Ukraine’s budgetary and defence needs in 2026 and 2027. “The rapid launch of the Ukraine Support Loan sends a positive signal to Ukraine,” said Taro Nishikawa, project lead of Kiel’s Ukraine Support Tracker. On top of the loan support, Germany allocated 700 million euros, Denmark 600 million euros, and the Netherlands 500 million euros to support Ukraine’s military. But long-term funding levels remain below those seen before US President Donald Trump pulled the plug. Before February 2025, donors allocated an average of 3.46 billion euros per month in military aid to Kyiv. Since then, that figure has fallen to 2.94 billion euros.
