Yes that's when it was finally voted through, Ukraine got nothing from USA half of 2023 and start of 2024. For about 8 months total.
I think EU is also in a better position to help more now. Many EU countries have increased production and aid in the meantime.
Again...huh?
The US did a "final drawdown" in December of 2023 sending military aid worth about 250 Million dollars.
There was 100 Million the month before, in November of 2023.
As near as I can tell the longest run was January of 2024 into April of 2024 which is only 4 months. Still too long but that's way different than 8 months.
I think you are misremembering the political theater around approving more for 2024 and interpreting it to mean we didn't send anything in the back half of 2023.
Maybe I do, but to be honest, the aid November and December is peanuts compared to the 60 billion package. Of course it's not nothing, but it's on a level comparable to a tiny country like Denmark, with only a 50th the population of USA.
So OK maybe not nothing, but very little.
