Europe sharply increases military aid to Ukraine, far exceeding previous levels

Thanh Hà |

In 2025, Europe sharply increased support for Ukraine, in which military aid increased by 67% compared to the average of 2022-2024.

Meanwhile, humanitarian and financial aid from the European Union (EU) to Ukraine also increased by 59% in the same period.

This is data published from a study at the Kiel Institute of World Economics (IfW, Kiel) of Germany.

Experts at this research institute emphasized that although aid from the US to Ukraine has decreased, the total amount of support for Ukraine in the past year has remained relatively stable, mainly thanks to contributions from Europe.

Military aid from the US decreased by 13% compared to the 3-year average, while financial and humanitarian aid decreased by about 5%.

The study emphasizes that most of the financial and humanitarian support is currently implemented through EU mechanisms and institutions.

According to experts from the Kiel Institute for World Economy, the sharp increase in military aid mainly comes from the active efforts of a small group of countries, concentrated in Western and Northern Europe, notably Germany and the UK. Meanwhile, support from Eastern and Southern European countries tends to decrease.
