Defending Ukraine in its war with Russia has cost $280 billion so far – and the US has contributed more than any other country. President Donald Trump has raised concerns about the cost of the war in Ukraine in recent days and the topic dominated his Monday meeting with French president Emmanuel Macron.

“Just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back.” “Now, in fact to be frank, we paid. We paid 60 percent of the total defaults, and it was like the U.S. — loans, guarantee grants — and we provided real money, to be clear.”

"This is the forty-sixth contribution, and we will continue to help," Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Feb. 25, according to the Polish media outlet Interia.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to raise with President Trump the possibility of a limited military role for the U.S. as part of an agreement to halt the Ukraine-Russia war, U.K. officials said.

President Donald Trump, as he navigates the Russia-Ukraine war, is making false claims about the amount of aid the U.S. has given to support Ukraine.
