After a visit of the United States and the European Union, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is back home, albeit not a very happy man. His plea for aid from the US and other Western nations amid the Russian war didn’t go his way. Washington was unable to approve a new defence spending package that included $61 billion in additional military funding for Ukraine. Similarly, Hungary blocked €50 billion ($54 billion) in European Union aid for Ukraine. Experts note that the failure to provide aid to Ukraine is a result of war fatigue. The optimism amid Western nations of a year ago, driven by the successes of the Ukrainian counter offensive, has mostly evaporated. Moreover, some of Ukraine’s staunchest supporters are distracted and divided by other crises including the war in Gaza. **Also read: Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy returns with little help from the West: What went wrong?** Some experts have said that failure to provide aid to Ukraine would have a long-term impact on the Russia-Ukraine war. As Franz-Stefan Gady, a defence analyst with the Center for a New American Security told Vox, “A failure to supply military aid to Ukraine isn’t going to cause an immediate Russian victory, but it is going to change the character of the war.” In the wake of these developments, we take a closer look at how much aid has Ukraine received since the war began over 600 days ago and its significance.
