Ukraine’s allies have dramatically scaled back their pledges of new aid to the country, which have fallen to their lowest level since the start of the war, the German-based Kiel Institute’s Ukraine aid tracker showed Thursday.

“The dynamics of support to Ukraine have slowed,” the Kiel Institute said, adding that new military, financial and humanitarian aid pledged to Ukraine between August and October 2023 fell almost 90 percent compared with the same period in 2022, reaching its lowest point since the start of the war in February 2022.

The figures come amid signs of growing cracks in Western support for Ukraine as Kyiv’s highly-anticipated counteroffensive fails to yield a breakthrough and the world’s attention pivots to the Israel-Hamas war.

    The US needs to get off their ass and get that Ukraine funding bill passed. Republicans keep tacking on bullshit to poison it.

      I fucking hate Omnibus politics. I don’t know how you’d do it, but 1 bill, 1 issue seems nice. And maybe banning naming these bills anything, because it’s so misleading.

        Naw. Israeli support is high among both D and R representatives. Israel is a key strategic partner in the Middle East and both parties want to maintain high relations.

        The way it was framed was actually the inverse I believe. They used broad support (among representatives at least) for Israel to force through additional funding for Ukraine as a package deal because support for Ukraine was wavering.
