The US Department of Defense has now published an official compilation of US military aid provided to Kiev to date. It also states that the security aid with which the Biden administration is supporting Ukraine is enabling “decisive successes against the Russian invasion forces on the battlefield”. The administration is working “around the clock” to fulfill Ukraine’s priority security requests, deliver weapons from U.S. stocks as they become available, and facilitate the delivery of weapons by allies and partners when their systems better meet Ukraine’s needs.” https://militaeraktuell.at/russland-verzeichnet-ersten-kampfverlust-einer-su-35/ Since February 24, a total of 1.7 billion US dollars (around 1.56 billion euros) has been delivered, including the following systems:
