For the period August to October 2023, new aid pledges decreased significantly, with total new aid totaling just €2.11 billion, an 87 percent decrease compared to the same period in 2022. , the lowest amount since January 2022 (see Figure 1). Of the 42 donors tracked, only 20 have pledged new aid packages in the past three months, the lowest percentage of active donors since the start of the war. There are also few new commitments from the European Union and the United States.
“Our figures confirm the impression that donor attitudes have become more hesitant in recent months. Increasing dependence on donor countries.Given the uncertainty surrounding further US aid, Ukraine hopes that the EU will finally pass its long-announced 50 billion euro aid package. No. A further delay would clearly strengthen Putin's position,” said Christophe Treves, head of the team producing the Ukraine aid tracker and director of the Kiel Institute's research center.
Proposals for a new US aid package have been postponed until next year, and approval of the EU's Ukraine Facility has stalled. The remaining main groups of active donors are European countries such as Croatia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, as well as NATO countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom. In addition, Ukraine can rely on a previously promised large-scale multi-year program, which currently accounts for the bulk of the aid actually provided. For example, Denmark, Germany and Norway have provided €1.2 billion, €1 billion and €662 million in military aid, respectively, in the past three months as part of previously committed multi-year plans.
