Europe was almost alone in providing military, financial and humanitarian support to Ukraine last year after the US withdrew, according to a report from the German research center Kiel Institute.

When the US almost completely cut off support to Ukraine in 2025, Europe took over and filled almost the entire void that arose, the report shows, which compares support in 2025 with the annual average for 2022–2024.

Military support from Europe increased by 67 percent, and financial and humanitarian support increased by 59 percent. However, total military aid from outside the country fell by 13 percent, while financial and humanitarian aid decreased by 5 percent.

Europe includes the EU and Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Other countries, including Australia and Canada, accounted for a smaller share of aid.
