The United States has allocated a staggering $175 billion in aid to Ukraine, funneling resources and military equipment to bolster the country’s defense capabilities. This aid package includes a wide range of weaponry such as shells, tanks, rockets, cannons, anti-tank weapons, and drones, providing Ukraine with the means to protect itself against external threats.
The influx of military aid from America underscores the importance of Ukraine as a strategic partner in the region. By providing essential resources and equipment, the US is helping to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities and bolster its resilience against potential adversaries. This significant investment in Ukraine’s security highlights the commitment of the United States to supporting its allies and promoting stability in the region.
The provision of military aid to Ukraine also serves as a clear message to other countries in the region about the United States’ commitment to upholding international norms and standing against aggression. By arming Ukraine with advanced weaponry, the US is sending a signal that it stands ready to support its allies and defend the principles of democracy and freedom.
Overall, the allocation of $175 billion in aid to Ukraine is a testament to the strong partnership between the United States and Ukraine, and a reflection of America’s commitment to promoting security and stability in the region. Through this aid package, the US is not only equipping Ukraine with the tools it needs to defend itself, but also sending a powerful message about its dedication to upholding the values of democracy and sovereignty.

People against this are dumb.
Europe and the US are destroying a war-mongering dictator’s country by getting rid of old weaponry, and are rearming with more advanced arsenals.
We also have invaluable information we didn’t have previously, like the efficacy of drones in wartime.
Russia has to be stopped.
If a Trump led US backs down from this, I can only imagine what choices will be made by the ever-opportunistic China and NK.
The powers of the world have to unite and stop this. Whatever the cost.
That manufacturing of weapons to be shipped cannot be called being anti-war. Those protesting about weapons being sent to Israel are leaving out the rest they should be protesting about too.
I'm not a fan of this video. Positive aspects of the equipment received – zero, negative – lots. Opinion of Ukrainian skill and fighting ability – low. The biggest one that gets me is how they are basically saying that the Ukrainians don't have technical skills, ability, and even intelligence to handle the F-16s they're receiving. Fairly insulting if you ask me, but then again, these opinions are coming from mostly western nations (especially news outlets) who all believed that they would fall in three days. I think a lot of this is coming from the fact that the Ukrainians how many of those expensive/high-tech weapon systems and meticulously planned strategies/tactics turned out to be pretty much useless in a modern war. And if there is anything a government/military hates the most, is being proven wrong, especially the big and powerful ones. I'm part Ukrainian so this really ticks me off…..SLAVA UKRAINIA!!!
15:43 trash US drone can't even take out a truck, I bet that 500 mil bought couple mansion for that guy
175 billion is about 10% of yearly USA military budget just for reference, and that was given over 3 years
why no dei hires?
Never been a better time to call it a day.
Theyre making missiles right here in NY
Tough
What would happen if countries started calling in the debt owed $35,000,000,000,000, 🤔
SLAVA UKRAINA!
The question is will Ukraine ever pay us tax payers back those money? 😡
Business Insider needs to re-title this video because as it stands, it is CLICK BAIT and its summary, simply wrong when it shows "$175 billion spent so far," with no further details other than a list of weapons, and "America has sent over $175 billion in aid to Ukraine," is false.
As of May-24, the USA has provided Ukraine a total of $52.773 billion in military aid since Feb-22, not $175 billion.

Further breakdown of aid funded to Ukraine between Feb-22=> Current appropriation cycle thru 2024, (including not yet spent):
Budget support: $34.2 billion
Humanitarian support: $2.9 billion
Military support: $69.8 billion
Russia will pay for all this!
The US never sent F-16‘s to Ukraine only other Nato allies did.
I wonder where the taxpayers money went?
Oh wait…
What sucks about leaders of warring countries is that neither will back down. Even if Russia would say something along the lines 'well, it didn't go well, we go home and don't claim anything' (which I doubt), Ukraine would probably chase them all the way to Moscow. And in the likelihood of war ending, Ukraine won't get any reparations from Russia, just like Poland did not get anything from Germany (and Soviets) after WW2 (puppet government did say that they didn't need it though). And now the 'new' (puppet) Polish government is saying almost the same thing again >_>
Ukraine is the best showroom for american weapons. Now everyone in the world can see how it outclass Russian weapons. Even their most recent ones.
no one is calling stael mate , Ukraine is losing
🤦🤦🤦🤦
Very bad title. Inaccuracies in the video as well.
13:00 I mean sure but the US tank costs $6.5M whilst the Russian one cost $1M
Russia can produce 6.5 tanks per ambrams tank
