Fact check: Krasnov repeats false Ukraine aid figure while sitting with Zelensky
President Donald Trump made some false claims to the press while meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Monday, including a long-debunked claim that the US has given Ukraine more than $300 billion in wartime aid.
“I guess the number is well over $300 billion,” Trump said at one point in his televised remarks. At another, he said, “Under Biden, it was just crazy what was going on. I believe the number is over $300 (billion). I think it could be $350 billion worth of equipment and money and everything else.”
Those figures aren’t close to correct, as numerous fact checks have pointed out.
According to figures from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German think tank that tracks the aid data, the US allocated about $134 billion to Ukraine in military, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine from late January 2022 through June 2025 (these figures are at Monday exchange rates), almost all of the $139 billion the US committed to Ukraine over that period.
