Military aid to Ukraine has fallen by 40%: what is happening with the supply of weapons

According to hvylya.net: The reduction in military aid to Ukraine from Western allies in 2025 has created serious difficulties for the country. Europe cannot fully compensate for the decrease in support, especially in supplying key types of weapons.

As reported by the Swiss publication Neue Zürcher Zeitung, the United States, which was previously the main donor, has not provided any new military aid packages since the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

European countries are trying to compensate for this deficit, but supplies remain insufficient due to technical difficulties. The biggest problems arise in providing air defense systems and large-caliber ammunition.

Despite this, some NATO allies continue to supply weapons to Ukraine through the PURL (Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List) program. The total cost of such purchases is estimated at 1.9 billion euros.

In 2025, the volume of military aid to Ukraine from Western allies significantly decreased, creating challenges for the country, especially in the context of escalating conflict in the east. European countries are trying to help but cannot fully replace the support previously provided by the U.S.
