A lot of hype accompanied the House’ scandalous passage of a long-delayed $60 billion aid package to Ukraine after the Republican Speaker cut a deal with the Democrats to make it happen. Supporters claim that it’ll help Kiev reverse the disastrous military-strategic dynamics that set in since the failure of last summer’s counteroffensive. They expect that Ukraine will either stop Russia’s gradual advance or maybe even launch the second counteroffensive that Zelensky recently spoke about.

Those are unrealistically high hopes, however, since it turns out that only around $14 billion or a little less than one-quarter of the total aid package will go towards buying new American arms for Ukraine. The Guardian reported on this politically inconvenient fact as did other outlets, which noted that $23 billion will go towards replenishing the US’ own depleted stockpiles. Meanwhile, $11 billion will fund current US operations in the region while $8 billion will help the Ukrainian government stay afloat.
